Pros

- Colleagues are generally supportive and team oriented. - The company has a strong brand and was previously well regarded as an employer.

Cons

- Minimal employee support during personal emergencies, with policies that feel inflexible and lacking in compassion when it matters most. - Limited flexibility and support during urgent family emergencies, with policies that can result in loss of pay despite unforeseen circumstances. - Very limited benefits overall, including low pension contributions, no meaningful perks, and restricted paid leave. - Sick leave allowance is extremely low, which can place unnecessary pressure on employees to work when unwell. - Heavy reliance on minimum wage structures, with pay increases that do not always reflect rising living costs or employee contribution. - High staff turnover, suggesting ongoing issues with retention and employee satisfaction. - A disconnect between the company’s “people-first” messaging and the day-to-day employee experience. - Progression and reward structures feel unclear or limited, making long-term career growth difficult.

Thanks for providing this balance view. It's great to hear the positives around the smaller leadership teams, growth opportunities and schedule flexibility and we recognize the points you've raised on pay, client retention and the pace of change. These are areas we're continuing to focus on, especially around strengthening service delivery and keeping the customer experience front and center. Your suggestions around getting back to basics and increasing presence are really valuable and we're considering ways to build on this. Thanks again for sharing your perspective.
