Below average pay (5k+ less than similar roles elsewhere, minimum).
Management play favourites, if you aren’t a favourite don’t expect promotions or training opportunities.
Management will lie to you about everything.
If management promise you anything don’t expect them to follow through.
Management attempt to influence any feedback given to senior management about their performance, the average employee isn’t allowed to directly speak to senior management without their direct manager vetting what they have to say.
Superficial promotion structure.
Unrealistic targets set.
No interaction allowed between different teams, even working in the same department.
Bare minimum in terms of “benefits”.
Compliance and support staff are treated as second class citizens.
No work/life balance, unless you’re a manager or a favourite. Everyone else has to make up time to cover for them.
Draconian sick policy. This wouldn’t be required if they created a positive working environment.
