lon:utg https://www.glassdoor.com?employer_id=907962 Sep 7th, 2022 12:00AM Open Open Unite Group Student Experience Team Member Bristol, England My experience at Unite Students You will meet SOME lovely colleagues, especially the housekeeping team! There are also some really nice students There is a lot of name blaming, gossiping and general rudeness from management team & there ‘favourite’ staff members! The workplace runs solely on job titles so the less you are paid, the more scrutiny you will deal with. -1.0 NEGATIVE -1.0 NEGATIVE -1.0 DISAPPROVE 0.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 907962 Open I think management should focus on training themselves properly via ELearning or actually spending time at the site properties with their team instead of huddling in one office together gossiping about their love lives/tinder hookups because the high turnover in staff is genuinely embarrassing… 0.0 [] REGULAR No Yes 2.0 Open Sep 9th, 2022 06:50AM Sep 9th, 2022 06:50AM Unite Students Financials Real Estate Investment & Services
lon:utg https://www.glassdoor.com?employer_id=907962 Aug 21st, 2022 12:00AM Open Open Unite Group Avoid this sinking ship Colleagues are good for the most part and the majority of the team leaders are great. hired on the premise I'd be working shift pattern between 8-8 just to be told a week after I'd signed etc the shift pattern is changing to 7-10. This was just one of many deliberate 'miss communications' and I've only been here 2 months! Already staffing issues (short staffed with high turnover) these new hours have accelerated this issue as understandably no one is going to agree to work a 2-10 over the weekend for 10.15 an hour. Some sites are left in disrepair while 100s of thousands are wasted on brand new company cars for middle management and company wide 'team events' in which employee feedback is deliberately ignored. Despite acknowledging the decrepit condition of some of the company's oldest sites 'the level of customer service provided ' is highlighted as the biggest area of improvement essentially blaming the lowest paid members of staff for the systematic failures present in all every city Unite trades in. I could honestly go on and on but I'm sure you get the picture AVOID unless you desperate and need a fall back while you look for other employment (I can assure you all the current staff would be in this same boat with you.) -1.0 NEGATIVE -1.0 NEGATIVE -1.0 DISAPPROVE 0.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 3.0 2.0 1.0 1.0 907962 Open Listen to staff. Spend less on middle management in exchange for more on the properties that pay our wages. (Less Audi Q8s and more housekeeping staff would be a start) Stop attempting to push hospitality models within the business. Student accommodation, designed and marketed to undercut competitors is never going to function like a hotel and cannot be managed in the same way! 0.0 [] No Yes 1.0 Open Aug 22nd, 2022 02:05PM Aug 22nd, 2022 02:05PM Unite Students Financials Real Estate Investment & Services

They have blackmailed us into signing a new contract signing our life away into doing more hours or to reduce our hours for less pay. They haven't taken into consideration any of the counter proposals that have been put forward as this doesn't suit their agenda, if they needed more staff all that was required was a better salary that reflects the hard work required for nights. They have no consideration for the front line staff who are the ones that keep this business going*** -Senior and middle management are useless -Below industry average salary -1.0 NEGATIVE -1.0 NEGATIVE 0.0 NO_OPINION 0.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 2.0 1.0 1.0 5.0 907962 Open Even if the advice was put here they wouldn't listen, I'm not prepared to help a company that cares so little for their employees. 0.0 [] REGULAR No Yes 4.0 Mar 27th, 2022 07:50PM Mar 27th, 2022 07:50PM Unite Students Financials Real Estate Investment & Services
