Cons
Extremely toxic workplace culture driven by an ELT that had no clear direction and consistently failed to support or implement meaningful change. Bullying behaviour was not only ignored but openly enabled by senior leadership, creating a hostile environment for staff.
In the span of one year, the TA team went through four different managers due to constant misalignment and lack of leadership stability. Every new manager came in with the same recommendations and improvement strategies, yet senior leadership repeatedly refused to listen, act, or take accountability. It became obvious the issue was never the managers, it was the leadership team itself.
The environment was highly unethical. I was pressured to overpromise to candidates and misrepresent opportunities just to get people through the door, knowing the reality would not match what was sold to them. Poor communication, and lack of integrity made it impossible to trust leadership or feel proud of the work being done.
High turnover, poor morale, and a culture of fear and blame made this one of the worst workplace experiences I’ve had.
