Pros

Decent salary, good work-life balance, and the chance to work with some talented and genuinely kind people.

Cons

I used to love working here, but there have been so many changes in the past year or two. It doesn't feel like a place where it's possible to progress any more. You get told a promotion will be coming soon and there's nothing more you need to do, but it doesn't happen after months of waiting. Comms from senior leadership are poorly thought out, which is especially a problem when they're communicating negative changes such as redundancies and cancelling the end of year pay rise. This used to be a company that really stood out for its people-first culture but senior leadership have abandoned those values.

Pros

Nice benefits and some of the people were really lovely. I felt that I was paid fairly at the time.

Cons

Wow. This could be a long list…the cronyism was thick in this place. If you aren’t one of them, you’re dirt. My supervisor was poorly trained and was not interested in becoming trained. She was a lovely person who was in over her head. I was relied upon to do my job and hers. When she left, I wasn’t offered her job. My guess is because I didn’t take any malarkey off of anyone. The CEO was very moody. He’d be nice sometimes then horrible to you to the point I cried a lot in the toilets and on the bus home. A plumber was threatening to thrash him for his behaviour. HR was the worst. When I handed in my notice I was immediately given garden leave so I’d be quiet.
