Unsworth Reviews

The company is family run, which makes it difficult to raise concerns fairly. Senior leadership (family members in director roles) are untouchable, regardless of behaviour, in my opinion. I personally experienced behavior from someone at director level that I found inappropriate and made me feel extremely uncomfortable. When I raised this formally, I did not feel supported. Despite reporting the issue, I was asked to serve my full three-month notice period, which I found difficult in that environment so I therefore chose to resign with immediate effect. I didn’t feel that the companies HR department handled my grievance impartially. In my opinion I feel that they trap people with a 3 month notice, even for junior roles that can easily be filled, making it difficult for employees to leave challenging situations. As a company they are supposed to have a duty of care for employees, however in my experience, I don’t think this duty was fulfilled.
