Prestigious brand but limited growth resources - Key Account Manager (KAM) Fentimans Employee Review

working with a heritage brand gives a sense of tradition, and you might learn about historic brewing or bottling techniques.

the company feels stuck in the past—processes are outdated, leadership is more interested in preserving image than improving systems. pay rises rarely happen, staff feel undervalued, and any attempt to suggest change is met with resistance. the culture leans toward blame rather than collaboration.

Working at Fentiman starts off sounding promising, but the day-to-day reveals a lot of cracks beneath the surface.

Expectations are high, communication is inconsistent, and employees often find themselves figuring things out alone because workflows are not clearly defined. The environment has potential, but without better leadership support and realistic workloads, it becomes draining more than rewarding.
