Pros

My manager is clueless so I can clock enough overtime to make up for the diabolical wages!

Cons

Where to start? I don't trust my current manager as I've witnessed her lie, cheat and manipulate higher management to get her own way. No one feels confident in speaking out about it as she's very clever and we've all seen how she operates! Quite a few good staff members have gone due to the seeds she has planted! Workload is a joke, we're expected to do a full days work in half a day then move department and do the same again! I've never worked anywhere like this, at least 80% of the workforce are trying to leave, myself included! Lucion do a good job of making us feel trapped by taking over inflated training costs from the staff if they leave so we're all stuck for another couple of years at least!

I want to start by thanking you for taking the time to submit your review of Lucion. It is important to me that you have your say. However, you currently don’t recommend Lucion, and have a “negative outlook” on our company, so you’re clearly very unhappy at Lucion and/or in your job. First I want to make sure that you have raised your issues internally via one of our feedback channels. These include multiple avenues outlined below: Appraisals - your one to one meeting with your manager, at a frequency you get to specify to help you assess where you are in your career journey. Take Care Be Aware Representatives - As you will be aware from our Being Lucion communications channel, you have a local TCBA representative who is there to listen to any grievances you have and represent these feelings anonymously to our Leadership Team. They are trained in mental health awareness, can assist with any well being issues personally or within the team. HR - Anyone can speak to us confidentially about any issues they may be having relating to work or home life. Whilst I appreciate you may feel unable to currently speak to your manager, without communicating to us directly, your situation will be unlikely to change, so I do urge you to use the above mediums. Your review is very personal and so I would also encourage you to make contact with either myself or Katherine Bridle (HR Manager), via email, chat or phone call, to discuss your issues so we can together find a solution to your situation. I stress that if you do reach out to me or Katherine, your comments will be completely confidential and will have no bearing on your progress within Lucion, but any information you can give us may go a long way to improving your working life. I appreciate your desire to leave Lucion, and I get it, as it doesn’t sound like we are the right fit. Lucion doesn’t suit everyone, and everyone deserves to be happy where they work. You feel you are currently not able to leave due to the costs associated with exiting the organisation. If this is the case, it is because we have invested in you and your career, through training and development. Our team are the most skilled in the industry. We invest into our staff as our clients come to us for the level of skills, competency and qualifications we offer. Unfortunately we have to protect our company from previous cases of individuals capitalising on our free training and then leaving. This is explained prior to signing any contracts. As you will have recently seen we often recognise individuals and teams for a job well done, and for those who go above and beyond within your team, career developments have been offered and accepted. Anyone who wants to develop their careers at Lucion has an equal opportunity to do so. To summarise, I hope you have taken the many opportunities we offer internally to raise your issues and make positive change happen. If you have done so, and no change has happened, please report this to me. If you’re still unhappy, I hope you find an alternative opportunity that is a better fit for you. Thank you again for taking the time to leave us a review and I hope to hear from you soon. Lucy

Pros

Talented and dedicated colleagues who genuinely care about their work. The company offers interesting projects and opportunities for development — though these are often overshadowed by the internal culture.

Cons

- Toxic management behaviour is tolerated, particularly from individuals who generate revenue, regardless of the impact on their teams. -Micromanagement, inconsistent feedback, and unrealistic expectations are common in certain areas of the business. -Employees are at times spoken to in a condescending or dismissive manner that undermines their confidence and sense of competence, creating an atmosphere of uncertainty and self-doubt. - A consistently high turnover of staff increases pressure on those who remain, resulting in unmanageable workloads and very little meaningful support or understanding from higher management. - This combination of demand, instability, and lack of care creates an environment where burnout is not only common, but almost inevitable.
