It is an exciting place to work where we believe in making each person a better version of themselves professionally. If you like an environment where you can grow, Energy Action is the place. By the way, we are hiring. Reach out to us

    Marketing Manager
    May 2021
    9 to 10 years in the role, former employee
    A good place to work, but needs to be clear on their focus and strategy at the top.
    The good thingsGreat staff that feel more like a family than a workplace. Very much embrace worklife/balance for the most part with staff able to work from home as needed and many roles available as part time - or open to considering.
    The challengesLack of clear and consistent vision and strategy. Management seem a bit lost and overwhelmed and the communication from the high level down is often misinterpreted or misunderstood. There seems to be a lack of clarity on the focus beyond "get more sales/leads".

    Keep looking at other roles... save yourself 2yrs of turmoil, sign up somewhere else
    The good thingsPrevious Management used to be ok, they all left because of the same old same old from the stagnant board...
    The challengesZero innovation, services are well overpriced, Value is almost never delivered to customers, internal roadblocks are extensive, KPI's are not set in reality and when you dont meet impossible targets you will be performance managed, current management WILL NOT factor in external challenges and push company issues through to front line staff. career progression is non existent, exceptional staff are leaving on mass. culture is management via fear.
