William Hill Employee Reviews about "flexible working hours"

Pros

Flexible working hours Good if you're starting your career and want some hands on experience

Cons

No clear development plan No perks No investment on the development of employees People work in silos

Advice to Management

Be more engaged with the work your team does and provide regular feedback to members of your team.

Pros

Flexible working hours, nice customers.

Cons

Can be very boring, management not so organised.

Pros

Relatively simple job if you just want a short term job rather than a career. Travel card zone 1-6 is great value if you work 5 days (25 hours minimum). Can meet interesting customers. Generally flexible working hours, may vary by location/shops needs

Cons

Breaks can be hard to setup as you'll often find yourself without a cashier if you're managing, often leading to a long shift without a break. Due to the nature of the job, not all customers you'll meet will be nice.

Pros

Very flexible hours and independant working too. great relationships and freindships built with customers too.

Cons

Management. Poor work life balance.

Pros

Flexible hours, Great Pay and Good Kit.

Cons

I worked in WH Retail Tech, it was a very strange non tech focused management hierarchy saturated with top down old school management rhetoric. The ‘Product Team’ leads the show deciding on all tech focused decision and routes to market. Being that this team is built up out of ex shop management, technology is not their strong point and this shows in their lack of delivery, team moral, people management and the choices they make (2 steps forward 6 steps back around every corner and milestone). Their turn over of staff is extremely high and they are not HR / employee focused, dealing with issues and complaints in an extremely lazy, half completed manner. Every team is unsupported by Product and they make the final call on everything, I was there for a year and delivered NOTHING to the user. Agile has been on the lips of management for the last 2 years and they are still talking about ‘How it will be implemented’ - which speaks volumes in my mind. I would summarise with saying that the old shop club make everyones role untenable within the office, bullying is rife, lack of direction and ownership at all levels, no focus on dealing with the issues or attempting to retain and empower employees is evident in every squad. I felt more valued stacking, packing and wrapping in a uni summer job. I would avoid this place while the old guard is still in charge at all costs!

Advice to Management

Embrace the new guard and get proper management in across product and your products will flourish and you will retain and maintain employee happiness.

Pros

Flexible working hours Good benefits

Cons

Can be a bit boring on slow days

Pros

Flexible hours, receive tips from customers

Cons

Some clusters are quite disorganised.

Pros

Flexible hours and free fruit

Cons

Weak leadership, poor strategy, non-inclusive "lads" culture. Trying to sweep falling share price and staff attrition under the carpet. Feels like it's going to collapse. Pay for my role was 60% of equivalent at the competition.

Advice to Management

If you're going to make people redundant "own it". Explain why it's happening, answer staff's questions and allow them to vent. Do not hang out a new director to dry by getting them to talk about their experience for 30 mins of a stand up to filibuster.
