Good luck. You’ll need it more than career progression, support or flexibility.The good thingsConvenient location for anyone in the Shire, which is probably the strongest selling point.
The challengesStaff are pushed to leave positive reviews to drown out genuine criticism and manufacture a better public image. Senior management is condescending, dismissive and disconnected from staff. Employees are excluded from decisions, treated like children and blamed for problems rather than leadership taking accountability. There is little genuine flexibility, almost no opportunity for career progression or meaningful pay growth, and staff are closely monitored, including time away from their desks. The knowledge is quite limited from higher management, No learning opportunities. People & Culture offers little support, and raising concerns can feel like they are turned back on you. Good employees leave regularly with little acknowledgement or effort from executives to understand why. A new office cannot fix poor leadership, a toxic culture and a lack of respect for employees.
Staff are monitored down to the minute, creating a controlling environment where even brief time away is scrutinised.
