Cons? The biggest cons are probably the company motto 'open, fair, honest, we take responsibility' and slogan 'improving lives through work'. Reed weren't open and honest about the fact that they'd been operating with decreased profits for 3 years in a row. Reed weren't fair when letting swathes of loyal, talented staff go during a global Pandemic when they needed leadership, direction and strength more than any other time. Reed didn't take responsibility for the fact that poor business decisions caused them to heamorrage money for 3 consecutive years, instead they chose to try and slip under the radar during the coronavirus Pandemic to let hundreds of staff go with no reason REAL reason and instead got line managers to read from a script. 'Improving lives through work' pushed by the CEO. How are you doing that Mr Reed, when you're taking away the work of your own staff? Finally, it's clear Reed is a sinking ship and you'd do well to avoid this business like the plague. You aren't valued.

Thank you for your review and I'm sorry you view the actions we've taken this way. As with everyone working within the recruitment sector, we find ourselves in a very challenging trading position; exacerbated by the lockdown imposed to combat the spread of Coronavirus. We have had to make some difficult decisions, which have involved the workforce accepting substantially reduced hours and pay, a streamlining of support functions and, continuing existing plans to release some Co-Members in fee-earning roles where they had already not been performing to our normal minimum standards or decline in trading within their specialism. In addition, we have applied the government guidelines in relation to the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme in good faith and furloughed some eligible Co-Members. Based upon your review, unfortunately, you were not part of this qualifying cohort. Our Global MD has been extremely open and honest in regular Vlogs to the workforce to explain actions taken and why and I am pleased to report that REED remains on a very stable financial footing.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Recruitment of course has a level of sales skills required and we acknowledge it's not for everyone.
