Pros

- Good for students to get experience. - Free Pizza on Fridays (Subject to availability) - x 1 Hot drink per day - Some staff are nice

Cons

- HR Have no clue in how to effectively handle situations regarding safeguarding / conflict resolution / staff management. They contradict themselves and try to handle situations over the phone and not over email (no trace no case) basis. - No career progression. (unless a friend of certain managers) - When you raise a concern to HR they acknowledge it but don't act on it, which then the situation repeats itself. - Management in certain departments are unprofessional by allowing political views to hinder their ability to manage which causes them to have favorites. - Managers are not able to cover all areas of the business whereas certain staff members have to then do a managers job without pay whilst the manager does nothing. -A lot of politics between departments / little to no communication. -Cafeteria has mice due to catering department not managed effectively.

Pros

There are some really decent people who work at the Palace, but because of that Exec and Leadership take advantage and overwork everyone. The Palace and the gigs are incredible.

Cons

Terrible HR team and policies. Utilising “family” to enable bullying and toxic culture. Disengaged exec who think spending money on courses will fill in the gaps of them not putting in the groundwork
