VELUX

Surprising to know that VELUX are still a family owned business. They still have the same family values as they founder built the company. I was part of the Housing team who provided extensive support and expertise to House builders across the country. The teams focus was the promotion of the best use of natural light and best use of the interior, especially the Loft space or "Room in the Roof". We had a very compatible team and an excellent boss. Our hardest job was altering house design before it was approved by the planners. The trust built up over some time, meant that we were consulted more often in the design of new homes. this improved design made the house more attractive to use and of course...to sell.! 
We added a Solar option to our range also, which gave Housebuilders the option of meeting strict planning regulations faster.

I’ve been employed at Velux for 23 years. The work culture overall is good. I have trained on and operated several jobs in my department over the years. The most enjoyable thing about my job is the knowledge I have learned on the numerous job titles I have owned. I would also have to say the relationships I have gained. Management for the most part is okay. I only have a problem with the rate of advancement and the hiring processes at Velux. I enjoy our 4 day 10 hour workdays which we recently changed to a year ago. The pay is decent and the benefits are okay as well. I just believe that I have risen as far as they are willing to allow, which is okay. I just feel like at this point in my career I’m ready to go somewhere that I feel good about to finish out the balance of my employment career.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Reverse racism for one that goes unchecked. They also preach safety but it's not enforced. They state that working safely is a pre-requisite of being hired as a employee.  That's a false statement. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Hectic environment, lousy culture. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Lousy work environment with little supervision. At least on 2nd shift that is !

I was a Solutions Tech at velux and I loved it. I unfortunately had to leave due to personal reasons but my supervisor was very understanding. Great job if you are a self starter and like solving customer problems. The leadership knew that the only reason we were called was if there was an issue and sometimes you simply cant satisfy every customer which was a refreshing change of pace form other jobs I have held. I would reccomend this job to anyone who can operate with little oversight and has the ability to stay focused when working alone.

This is one of the best companies I have worked for. I worked with a great team and my boss was very effective in his management style.
Some of the products were manufactured in Scotland and I would often visit there to assist customers or attend meetings. 
My team focused solely on National House builders and we provided design support from our team of Architectural technicians who were based in Kettering.
We created relationships with the developers that led to sales from our merchant partners. 
Many of us had to leave the company due to the international financial crisis of 2009.

A typical at Velux was pretty laid back. Before we started working we would have a shift meeting to talk about the goals for the day and what was bad the previous days to make a change. My time at Velux i learned a lot of things from working their. I learn that team work always is key to job. Other thing i learned is how work in different paces. My co-workers and management was easy to get along with right away. They was very helpful and wanted you to always ask questions. There was nothing hard about the job. The most enjoyable thing was getting to work with good people.

I was lied to from the start about the work requirements. Took a role as a welder and was building pallets or crating items for shipping. None of which are at all the role of a welder. The wage was also and issue and when brought up was immediately terminated, without warning. You assume the role of an entire production line not just a single rule. Typical corporate culture, hire people with zero experience of the job process who spit in the face of current employees and use their title to make decisions which will ultimately be the down fall of the company. 

A typical day at Velux is very busy, entering invoices, working with employees concerning expense reports as well as helping others work through some accounting issues. The most enjoyable part of the job was working with people that were friendly and worked together as well as always having work to do. The hardest part has been teaching someone to do your job that will be taking over your responsibilities in the future. I am a people person and have gotten along with management as well as other employees very well.
