SIMPLY AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! - Anonymous employee Kennington Creative Group Employee Review

Here at Spectrecom we have 60 plus staff, and most are very happy. Our current length of service average to September 30th 2018, is 2 years 7months. Regarding freelancers the company accepts and apologises for letting down a number of suppliers with overdue payments. The company has worked hard to address this over recent months as the business continues to grow, and now payments (October 2018) are almost all paid or in terms. Furthermore, and in contrast to some other media companies, our payment terms are 30 days as opposed to 60 or even 90. As for our own clients we will never chase money that isn’t invoiced and contractually due for payment. All employees have always been paid within the terms of their employment contracts. In response to working hours; it is the nature of our industry that shoots and projects can incur long hours of work at a stretch. We appreciate the toll this can take on some departments and for many years the company has voluntarily operated a TOIL system for giving employees hours worked overtime back in lieu. Recently we have also introduced an office lock up time of 7.30pm to help prevent late working. We are very proud of our policy of equal opportunity and encourage all staff to achieve their full potential. We have female representation on both the Management Team and the Board, any prospective employees should visit our website for more information on the Management’s respective industry experience. We also offer young people the chance to start a career in the media by offering many entry-level positions and working hard on our training plans. Many people have therefore joined the company as trainees and left to work elsewhere in the industry as accomplished professionals' years later. There have never been reports of sexist, racist or homophobic comments being made, written or otherwise. We have systems in place for all employees’ wellbeing and safeguarding as outlined in our Employee Handbook and supervised by departmental Line Management. There is also an open desk policy up to board level, where both male and female Directors sit, for people to come directly to report any serious issues, or any grievances at all.
