Typical day at work consists of sitting/working at your desk or walking outside. There is no formal option to work remotely however if you are sick/ill the option might be available pending approval. There isn't an adequate break/lunch area, the lunch area mentioned consists of a small 4 seated table in the corner of the warehouse which no one uses regularly. Some days in the year are so cold you have to choice but to eat lunch outside or at your desk (with a coat on) within the workspace. The company is situated in a business park with no outdoor seating area, sometimes lunch on the grass or the nearest retail restaurant was an option.

If you're looking to progress your career and learn / improve upon your skills you would be better off learning from a free YouTube course which speaks to the leadership of the department. There is no mention of, nor is there a program in place to ensure progression (e.g., pay or skill set) within the role; it is very much self-led when possible. As the career progression is relatively static, the day to day tasks become monotonous and repetitive over time. Speaking of career progression, the company did 3-month appraisals where the work done for the previous 3 months was in fact given feedback (both good and constructive) which was good however the mention of career progression were empty promises and were never brought up again.

The most enjoyable part of the job was the few friends that were made; they ended up leaving shortly after I did.

The least enjoyable part of the job? Including the above paragraphs, the pay for the marketing role was below average (see similar job postings in Leeds on Indeed) in conjunction with poor career development.



I want to stress that my immediate manager (Head of Marketing) was great, but the overall senior management really let the company down.

You get the minimum salary they're willing to part with (everyone is paid differently for the same job), minimum holidays (the 28 days include the bank holidays, as well as 3 compulsory days over Christmas, so this year you'd only have 16 days to have off when you actually want them), no break room (eat at your desk or in your car, or in the freezing cold warehouse that has a single table next to the toilets), no benefits (no health cover, no work partnership schemes, no paid overtime).

Directors and top senior management create a hostile environment, you get called "replaceable", and the only time you hear from them as a regular employee is if they're unhappy with you. They also adamantly refuse to allow you to WFH even though it is absolutely doable and efficient. I was denied WFH when the gov ordered it last December and not offered a reason why (even though I live with a vulnerable person).

It's such a shame because my marketing manager and colleagues were great, the work-life balance is nice, and the job itself was interesting. But I cannot agree with the stinginess in salaries, lack of clear career progression, the hostile senior management and the lack of benefits.









Worked there for 4.5 years - felt just as valued as someone who had walked through door just 2 weeks ago. A clear divide between upper management and everyone below them - no effort to have an understanding for the job roles of the people beneath them whatsoever. Constantly felt drained due to the excessive hours you have to work to be able to earn a moderate income. Often working 60+ hours within a week, again with the no thanks or appreciation for it. A lot of talking behind backs is done within all departments and at all levels. Secrecy is key.

As a team leader I earned 50p per hour more than the people I was in charge of - ridiculous. Minimum wage + 50p supported by an unrealistic expectation to work a silly amount of hours just to earn a reasonable income results in very high amount of stress.

It took me leaving to join a company that actually values their staff and pay me what I am worth to recognise I have wasted over 4 years of my life at a company that had no interest in my personal development.

The only positive to the job for me was the people I worked with. The sales manager, sales team leaders and members of sales team were all pleasant people on a personal level and helped the day go by.

Garolla, is an excellent place to work whether you know the career path you want to follow, but also they give people a chance to gain experience in a role that they have not previously done.

The salary while not being astronomical is a good rate, along side the flexible start times and in some cases remote working and a Monday to Friday work week makes for a good work life balance.
In my role as the Facilities, Compliance and IT Manager, my work load is varied which keeps it fresh and enjoyable and this is same for other roles here at Garolla. The senior management team are here to guide anyone who needs advice, assistance or help, this is not just in a work aspect but also where needed in a personal aspect too. If you want training or to do a course they are more than willing to create funding and time for you to carry this out for example I am now IOSH certified. 

Overall Garolla rewards hard work and it is easy to work hard here.  

Recently worked in sales department and it was the worst job ever, the advert is misleading there are no monthly treats and the commision is shocking although I never really hit targets  and so is the pay they feed you false promises  and promise you the world with support but it never comes  but do not deliver I woud rather be on universal credit than work for this company if your face fits you get everything if it doesn’t you don’t get anything! Management is shocking they don’t have a clue what they doing no people skills and if your a yes person who will jump to there tune you will be rewarded and the toxic environment of roid rage and swearing going unnoticed is really bad, the only good thing is that I made some genuine mates 

I worked here for around 6 months last year.  In that time, I was shifted around 3 different departments, told I was replaceable by a member of senior management, and otherwise felt very isolated by them.

The pay is also very low, their holidays are the absolute minimum they can get away with, and there are a lack of breakroom facilities and benefits.

I enjoyed the time with my colleagues and there is a good food truck, but otherwise I did not enjoy my time at Garolla.

Been given opportunity to get experience in the field of IT based on my education not what I have previously done. 
Been trained well and learned a lot over couple of months.
Management is friendly and helpful they make you feel valued and I feel like I am part of the team.
Most enjoyable part of the job is to help people around me and carry on to develop myself to become better at what I'm doing to help company grow.
I honestly believe that Garolla is great place to work and there are opportunities to develop and grow within the business.


I have been working at Garolla for around 9 month. The company treats everyone fairly and i have been made to feel valued throughout my time with Garolla. I have been given opportunities to share my thoughts and ideas I have recently been given the chance to grow within the business. I truly feel part of a thriving team. 

I worked at Garolla for several months, and I have to say my experience was not a positive one. The company culture was lacking, and I often felt isolated in my role. Additionally, the compensation and benefits package was not competitive, with a low salary and minimal holiday time. There were no sick days. Training was minimal, and there were limited opportunities for career growth

Have worked at this company 3 years great Management awesome work colleagues, always room for growth and all you do does not go unrecognised.
Pay for nights out in 5 star hotels and meal allowances for long travel and nights out .
Awesome Transport Manager who is always on call to assist you or make your day easier where possible.
