Pluspunten

When I walked out the doors after I decided to quit

Minpunten

All staff are so inexperienced and act like they're the wolves of wall street. You are 100% looked down upon if you don't perform. They select their favourite staff members based on how sexist their jokes are (all jokes degrade women) and help them succeed by passing them all the hot leads. I witnessed every single senior staff member in the Blackburn branch objectify women that worked for the company and even their own wives/girlfriends so respect for the female gender at all. There is one particular gentleman who will know who he is when he reads this tell gruesome inappropriate stories about his personal life that made me feel uncomfortable. They constantly make jokes about paedophiles, take long walks when they are bored, take several smoke breaks and long lunches.. but wait did I mention these perks only apply to management and senior staff members? f you want to take a job here prepare your crude jokes and rehearse you jack the lad impersonation. Oh and be weary of the grim reaper who sits in the corner sitting and judging everyone when hes been in the same position for 50 years.

Thanks for posting this review. I am extremely disappointed to read this - especially as we consider our Blackburn office to be an extremely positive working environment, which is demonstrated by high levels of engagement, strong performance, and a low staff turnover rate. This is not in line with other feedback we have received regarding this office and the working culture throughout our business. Our Founder and CEO is a woman, as are a large proportion of our Senior Leadership Team. However, I must stress we will not tolerate this type of conduct or behaviour at any of our premises and I will be investigating this personally as a matter of priority. If you are willing to assist me, I’d be more than happy to speak to you directly and in absolute confidence. You can connect with me privately on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamestucker08/ I hope to hear from you soon. James Tucker.

It is tremendously refreshing to work for an events business that prioritizes the right things: ambitious yet sustainable revenue growth, quality products/customer satisfaction, and a constructive and happy working environment for employees.

Minpunten

I have none to report.

Thank you for leaving this glowing review. It is so important for our colleagues to buy-in to our strategy and the goals we have set – and this certainly seems to be happening right across the business. First-class event delivery is always our top priority for our communities – and we continue to exceed expectations. I’m really proud of what we are creating and the impact we are having. This is down to everyone at GovNet, so a big thank you to you all. When both our customers and our colleagues are happy, we know we are on the right track! James Tucker.

Commission structure is not the most competitive for sales roles; however, this is balanced by excellent benefits.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful and positive review of your time at GovNet. Your feedback really captures what we are striving to build here - not only in terms of salary, benefits, flexibility, and a healthy work/life balance, but also the culture that underpins everything we do. Your description of “a strong sense of family, teamwork, and looking out for one another” particularly resonated with me and perfectly reflects the environment we aim to create. I appreciate your comments around “trust-based management”. Empowering our people and showing genuine trust is essential to keeping teams engaged, encouraging new ideas, and helping individuals truly flourish in their roles. I also note your comment on “ a real sense of achievement”. While sales can be challenging at times, it is incredibly rewarding to see our events come to life and to recognise the positive impact they have on the communities we serve. Thank you again for your review, and for all your hard work and commitment over the years. I wish you every success in the future. James
