- Wages are below industry standard for roles. Given their insistence on travelling in to the office and the additional expense of this. The wages are (in real terms) much much lower.
- Bonus depends on the business hitting targets, this is sold as a benefit but is really a misnomer.. Someone could work hard and achieve their personal target, but if the business doesn't 'unlock' the bonus: it's all for nothing.
- They engage contractors to deliver work that can be done in-house. (in some cases, it's work that has already been done)
- Zero long term planning, the new system implementation has been hilariously awful.
- The 'eat healthy at work' scheme is backed up by having two vending machines on each floor stocking Monster and chocolate.
- The 'better mental health' practices are backed up by a 'must attend the office' policy regardless of role/shift. Mandating people to spend more money and time commuting to work.
- All initiatives are done for clicks on social media, there is no real substance to them.
- Management does not care about staff engagement at all. Refuses to address the ongoing staff concerns: pay, training/accreditation and career progression (first hand experience of this)
- Distinct lack of trust when working from home
- 'Hybrid working' means that logs are checked and movements tracked when you swipe in/out of a door (and subsequently challenged)
- Any outward message or recruitment ad is a façade. For example: The messages you see on here: Business Stream 'responding' to reviews gives an impression that any points will be at least addressed via an exit interview.....this is not true.
- Senior management coming on Glassdoor and giving glowing reviews about saving 40% on a cinema ticket.
- Complete lack of ability across every level to 'read the room'.
- It is getting dangerously close to a complete system failure, the customer base is too big for the systems they have. There are already infinite manual workarounds for every process, the tipping point is imminent.
- All management is 'Old people running old systems down using old management 'techniques''
