Pluspunten

The colleagues are exceptionally pleasant and extraordinarily cooperative.

Minpunten

Intensely High-Stress Environment: The work environment is overwhelmingly stressful, with an unrelenting and exorbitant pace that is mistakenly considered normal until one experiences a more balanced company. Everyone is constantly pushing themselves to the absolute limit. Complete Lack of Safety and Trust: The excessively strict no-gossip policy creates an atmosphere where employees feel utterly unsafe to speak freely. There is a false reflection of 'good culture'. In actual fact, one must be extraordinarily cautious about everything they say, as it invariably reaches the founder, leading to immediate blacklisting. Grossly Ineffective Management: The mandatory one-on-one meetings with managers are often futile, as many lack the essential skills or experience. Many managers are entirely new, and employees feel like mere guinea pigs in their ill-conceived experiments. Appallingly Poor Compensation and Benefits: The remuneration is dismally low, akin to that of a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME), with no guaranteed bonuses or 13th-month pay. Medical benefits are minimal, and the company seems to ruthlessly exploit employees for the salaries they pay. Exceptionally High Turnover: Employees are frequently and abruptly terminated, creating significant job insecurity. Managers are perpetually overwhelmed with their workload due to the alarmingly high turnover. Relentless Micromanagement: There is pervasive and relentless micromanagement at every level and in every department. Excessive Cost-Cutting Measures: The company is extremely frugal, implementing draconian cost-cutting measures wherever possible. Despite budget constraints, the company continues to open new branches each year without fairly compensating staff for their extraordinary hard work.

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to write this valuable feedback. We appreciate that you enjoyed working with the people at Write Edge. We work hard to build a culture where people enjoy working together. A few thoughts: Write Edge has grown 30% year on year over the past four years, and I am incredibly proud of our team – we couldn't have achieved this without each team member. With such growth and as an SME, we acknowledge that there can sometimes be higher demands and limited resources. We are committed to providing the resources needed to help our team maintain a healthy work-life balance. We have increased our headcount by 20% across all departments over the past year. Yes, you are correct. The leadership team has low tolerance for gossip. Gossip undermines trust, collaboration, and overall morale of the team. Open communication helps us address problems quickly and ensures everyone feels valued and heard. I am sorry to hear that you did not feel your concerns were heard or that you did not feel you had a safe platform to raise what you clearly felt strongly about to me or the leadership team. We are not perfect, but we are committed to building a stronger organisation. My heartfelt thanks for being part of our journey and for your contributions to Write Edge. I did not address every point here in detail but feel free to reach out to me directly at nic@write-edge.com if you would like to speak further. Thanks once again for taking time to write this feedback so we can reflect on how to do better. Nicolette Write Edge Co-founder and Director

Pluspunten

Convenient location Small centres, few students, low crowds

Minpunten

Poor leadership Company only interested in earning dollars, sometimes at the expense of what they can provide as an education centre. Materials are used over and over again every year. Teachers are not screened properly. Health conditions of teachers are not screened. Some teachers can barely remember student's progress and names. Frequent changing of teachers.
