Pros

- Supporting young people who have been marginalised

Cons

The CEO surrounds herself with yes people. HR don’t align with the staff team, instead they follow the CEO’s agenda. Leadership are far away from the work, but despite this they don’t involve the staff in decisions. Leadership bully and/ or push people out without any thought for the staff who are often really impacted by their actions. There is a lack of support to do the complex work safely. There is a blame culture. Staff moral is low. I didn’t feel valued or appreciated by the organisation.

Pros

Four day working week at full pay.

Cons

In my opinion, very clicky and not inclusive. SLT appear to have favourites. Not an inclusive environment and unwelcoming for new starters. I think they place more emphasis depending on the area of the business you work. Constantly requesting for employee feedback but they fail to address high admin levels, stressful working environments where they constantly ask employees to do more and never show recognition. Big tasks placed on staff with no support or resources - no recogntion particularly from the SLT. Constant changing of direction with no clear prioritisation. Would not recommend as an employer.
