Pros

There are absolutely no pros to working there

Cons

Everything! Poor management; not caring about the health and wellbeing of their staff, only pulling out the negatives of your work, not the positives. Other senior members of the team in clicky groups, two faced and absolutely vile to you. Ridiculous pay for the amount of work that is dumped on you. SLT are the worst of the worst, really awful to their staff! Not a good place to work at all, avoid at all costs!

Appalling management culture

Pros

- flexible working - good benefits

Cons

Disgraceful culture perpetuated by management of strongly implying that working hours and hours of overtime is necessary whilst not directly saying it so can’t get called out. Management are aware of employees clearly struggling from burnout after two years of working well past their capacity throughout the pandemic and yet constantly demand more from employees with strong pressure to act like they are doing you a favour by giving you ‘development opportunities’ (i.e. more work for same pay). High turnover within certain departments due to clique culture and unrelenting pressure but management don’t seem to care. Genuine talent being lost because the council have no interest in retaining employees or treating them like human beings.
