      Pros

      Some great people to work with and the client base is big which gives you a lot of exposure.

      Cons

      1. Confined to the GSC so unable to service clients to the full potential 2. If you are not in the clicky group of people you are often forgotten and treated like a 2nd class citizen. 3. A lot of relationships between colleagues on the same floor which creates a horrible atmosphere for others 4. Team Leaders do not tend to do much and are more a delegation team. 5. A massive blame culture unless your within the clicky group where you can get away with anything. 6. Staff not treated equally and they will use certain people to make examples but not follow this across the board. 7. New ideas aren’t often welcome, it’s their way or no way. 8. Management will hold you back from progression to serve their own needs 9. Low salaries that do not fit within the market

      Thanks for your review. While it's good to hear you worked with some great people, and that you appreciated the exposure to our large client base, the other issues you raise are a real concern. As there are quite a lot to discuss, would you be willing to have a confidential chat with me? You can start by emailing me at kirsty.adams@resourcesolutions.com, and we can then arrange a phone call or a visit to our head office in London to talk through the issues one by one. Many thanks, Kirsty Adams (Global HR Director, Resource Solutions)

      Negative work environment. Feels like a time bomb place

      Pros

      Good benefits, dental and medical You can don’t do work and still earn money if you are liked by management

      Cons

      You can tell alot of ppl don’t like each other but just come in to work and tolerate. So much tension! Always feel like no job security! Ppl only look after their friends. Managers will protect their friends even if they slack off all the time. Totally unflexible work environment. Must reach on time at 8:30 and cannot go before 6pm unless you are from the friends group. Management does not like ppl working from home becos they don’t believe ppl are really working. Ppl in Singapore and UK like to escalate the smallest matter. Ppl in Singapore office always criticising work from UK office.

      Hi - I'm really concerned by the comments and allegations in your review. As the Global HR Director, I can tell you categorically that our business does not condone favoritism or bullying of any kind. I simply have seen no evidence of that since I joined Resource Solutions, and I've not met a team yet that simply tolerated each other - I genuinely believe the working culture we have is one of the best I've ever seen, so this is a real surprise and a concern. I take your allegations seriously and I will look into them. I've replied to previous reviews mentioning our working hours by promising that flexible working is my top priority, and I'll repeat that now - I want to ensure everyone is provided the flexibility to perform their best work, in an environment they feel comfortable in and enjoy coming to work in. If that's not the case now, I'd like to know why, and understand what we can do to make it better. Thanks, Kirsty Adams (Global HR Director, Resource Solutions)
