Pros

I've been with the business for 18 months now and, from day one, I found the culture and work ethos really impressive throughout all departments. Despite its size and the volume of employees, everyone I've encountered has a positive attitude and offered me help and guidance, particularly during my initial adjustment period. Transitioning into a workplace where the Directors are approachable was a breath of fresh air for me. Engaging with the leadership team is very much encouraged. The regular internal communication here is executed really well too. While this is often overlooked in many organisations, it's been prioritised here (including an employee information ‘hub’ with benefits and discount schemes that have helped most of the workforce save money on shopping etc.! A great perk to the job). In my time so far, I've not only gained insights into the workings of the business, but also experienced personal growth within my role. I felt confident in my abilities, however, I've still found ample opportunity to enhance my skill set with the support of the team – I have learnt a lot! It's lovely to work for a brand you can feel proud of.

Cons

If you come from a smaller business background, the size of the business could seem daunting, however, Tom Howley has a brilliant internal culture, it's really welcoming, so I wouldn't let that dissuade anyone with concerns in this regard.

Pros

Large flexi-time windows, paid time and 3/4 overtime (both very rare in the design industry), work from home flexibility and a workshop next door so you can pop down and ask any technical questions and see the products being made. Great place to finesse the basics of Sketch-Up and bespoke joinery and kitchen drawings.

Cons

Awkward location, kind of impossible to get to unless you drive and super bad for traffic. Quite a depressing office with a call centre vibe. Not much development once you've learnt the basics and can become quite repetitive. Sales designers can become quite snappy and incompetent with their designs.
