    What’s it like working at Simply Energy?

    AI summary of recent reviews

    Employees at Simply Energy appreciate the friendly people and welcoming environment, as well as the opportunities to learn quickly on the job. The good work-life balance with low micro-management was also highlighted as a positive aspect. Some felt that senior management is headed in the right direction.

    However, there are some potential challenges, such as frequent management changes which can be disruptive. Career development was seen as limited, particularly given Simply Energy's smaller size. Concerns were raised about negativity in the workplace culture and instances of poor behaviour being tolerated. While some praised senior leadership, others perceived a lack of strong leadership within the senior management team.

    For learning it was great. For self esteem it was terrible.
    The good thingsI learnt a lot quickly
    The challengesManagement changed regularly. I often wasn’t listened to. House of Cards type of work place. Definitely issues with workplace culture and alcohol. Senior Managers & HR prepared to accept very poor behaviour from staff over protecting those impacted by the poor behaviour.
