Anyone ever worked for...

[Paulie Dangerously]

Rayware Ltd in Speke?

 

Got a job interview there later this week.  Glassdoor is giving it horror reviews but you always have to take it with a pinch of salt as it's usually sacked employees ranting.

 

Also a general "workplace recommendation" thread

[Kloppite]

Wrong forum pal?

 

Where is this rayware and what is thd job doing I am looking for work atm.

Oh for fucks sake

[Elite]

Ray Ware?

 

What position does he play?

[dickie mint]

Any-ware.

[cloggypop]

Any-ware.

Nah, he's limited.

[Dr Nowt]

Glassdoor is the most blatant code for window I've ever seen.

[Captain Turdseye]

One tip I'd give is not to go to Speke because Google maps suggests it's actually in Hunts Cross.

[Strontium]

I can tie this to the FF, Rayware used to sponsor the football team I and numerous members of my family played for.

[Captain Turdseye]

Anyone ever worked for Brechin FC?

[Paco]

Only if you take work blue with you

This thread is a disgrays.

Fucking code gets everywhere the sly bastard.

 

Sits back and waits for inevitable neg from Mr 72.

[Paulie Dangerously]

Yeah they look like Jokers tbh.  The agency who hooked me up said "someone rang me after a month and thanked me for getting them a job there" A cheer went up from waiting employees etc

 

Think I might give it a miss

[Bjornebye]

Yeah swerve them Paulie.

   "Steer clear!!"

   StarStarStarStarStar

   Former Employee - Marketing Team in Liverpool, England

    

    

   Doesn't Recommend

    

   Negative Outlook

    

   Disapproves of CEO

   I worked at Rayware full-time (More than a year)

   Pros

   A lot of nice people. Product discounts.

   Cons

   Bullying culture from the top down, unprofessional management, general lack of strategy and terrible working environment.

   Advice to Management

   Grow up, quite frankly! Scoring points off your hard working employees by acting like a tyrannical school yard bully, and sacking people on a whim is no way to run a business. It will earn you neither loyalty nor respect.

   I worked at Rayware full-time

   Pros

   Discount on products however nothing else.

   Cons

   The working environment at Rayware is horrible. The office is dull and your made to feel like you are always looking over your shoulder and that the company is doing you a favor by employing you. During my time at Rayware, employees where constantly being sacked for ridiculous reasons which also makes department interaction and interaction with all employees at the company terrible. There is no happy atmosphere and … Show More

   Advice to Management

   The problem with Rayware is that it was made from 2 guys who chanced their luck and fell lucky with a street trader mentality which still to this day trickles down to staff....No strategy whatsoever. I feel Rayware won't last for another 10-15 years as they cannot keep their current staff, the technology is embarrassing, innovation is slipping and the management are too stuck in old ways to understand times have … Show More

   "Great staff, bad management"

   StarStarStarStarStar

   Former Employee - Anonymous Employee

    

    

   Doesn't Recommend

    

   Neutral Outlook

    

   No opinion of CEO

   I worked at Rayware full-time (More than a year)

   Pros

   Staff are great, all employees are helpful and friendly
   Free parking
   Free tea and coffee
   Showers on site
   Some really helpful and amazing managers

   Cons

   Some managers are horrible and treat their team members as though they are disposable.
   There are no pay rises, the company would rather let good staff go than pay them a little extra.

   Advice to Management

   Treat staff like humans and not disposable goods

   "Watch out for the interview hard sell"

   StarStarStarStarStar

   Doesn't Recommend

    

   Positive Outlook

    

   Disapproves of CEO

   Pros

   Discount on products is good, free hot drinks, nice staff. The new computer systems are brilliant, replacing the old ones previous reviewers have commented on, but still locked down on company wide visibility

   Cons

   Poor salary, little structure, too many products. There is a culture of fear and an assumption you're damn lucky to be employed there. Employment is all at statutory minimum, including holidays. They don't compensate time for travel and have very precise and strict working hours, longer than the industry norm. They will not hesitate to break your employment contract illegally but bow quickly when sternly reminded. … Show More

   Advice to Management

   Get a proper marketing team and sales leaders with some experience. You can't keep dealing with multiples with the current management structure. As you grow, by chance not by strategic planning, you need more skills and a corporate structure.
   
   At interview, they do a good job of selling the company and tell you that you can achieve loads and influence. In reality they want people who can trade and obey school … Show More

   Pros

   Free tea and coffee and product discount.

   Cons

   Honestly, Rayware was the worst company I have ever worked for. Rayware is ran through fear with people being sacked constantly not because of their work rate but for not being in a clique or fitting the ‘Rayware way’. I noticed one position still on the website for over 2 years. Positions are available through staff being forced to leave or through sacking with no real reason given. The company lacks structure and … Show More

   Advice to Management

   It's pointless to give advice as they will not take it. Very stubborn company that thinks they can keep doing what they're doing without any change.

   Disapproves of CEO

   Pros

   As staff you can buy their products at a discount. Worked with some lovely people who I miss. Free hot drinks.

   Cons

   Computer system is shocking. Dates back to the eighties and emails crash on a regular basis. No proper HR structure in place. Other departments not interested in providing help when you need information

   Advice to Management

   Invest in your computer system, it is by far the worst one I have ever used. Look after your good employees

[thegreatelephant]

talk about body cams for teachers etc. there should be body cams for employees. so when one of those above management shitcunts steps out of line to your face they are up before a work tribunal so fast their heads fucking spin.

 

these vermin need eliminating. no one should have to go to work and put up with those sort of stupid little tinpot nobodies.

[TheHowieLama]

Free tea and coffee.

[Oh Buoy]

Free tea and coffee.

And a free chair for your desk. Sounds pretty decent actually.

[Champ]

Free tea and coffee.

 

Its hardly a ringing endorsement, is it?

 

Having said that I'd be dead excited about being offered free tea and coffee at work. Or better still, free milk so that the fridges wouldnt be rammed with a thousand different bottles and an end to the bad feeling caused when someone's milk gets stolen

[Oh Buoy]

Always thought providing coffee, tea and milk was a legal requirement, not sure why. 

 

I guess I've always been spoilt as one place I worked had free Nespresso.
