Pros

Struggling to find any pros besides a handful of good people.

Cons

You can't trust senior leadership or the executive board. They say one thing and do something else, hardly keeping promises and full of ego. Happy to lose best employees while reshuffling incompetence, where you find leaders in roles they're not qualified for. Too many tickbox exercises to make it seem like they're listening to employees. Very toxic environment, unfortunately it has rubbed off on many employees that you struggle to find genuine people within the organisation. The only reason anyone would give 5 stars is that they benefit from the toxicity.

Pros

1. Your fellow team members are friendly on the whole. 2. Pay etc is average. Could earn more elsewhere despite Board saying it's benchmarked. 3. Benefits are fairly standard.

Cons

1. Senior Leadership and Exec Board have no idea what happens below them. 2. Way too much political games going on. 3. No direction from above. 4. If you are saying a message Senior Leadership don't want to hear - they'll just ignore it. 5. Lots of promises - little action. 6. T & Cs forced upon you, irrespective of what your contract says, 7. Senior Leadership & Exec Board seem to assume every staff member lives 10 minutes away. Don't use data to understand their own people. 8. Inter department fighting means nothing gets done well or collaboratively. 9. Corporate headquarters in Basingstoke suffers from lack of parking. Senior leadership seem to assume everyone lives within 10 minutes of Basingstoke. 10. No flexible working model.

Pros

You can work from home 3 days a week

Cons

Unfortunately the top of the structure is management heavy however the staff who actually is doing the job doesn't get replaced, this results in other staff doing duties of 2-3 people long term. The company used to be good to work for prior to the merger with Network Homes, since then it went downhill with unrealistic expectations from their staff members who are already barely coping with the workload. When discussing and raising the issue with top management the issue gets ignored/swept under a carpet and not acknowledged. It's a shame that the staff get treated this way as previously staff was very well looked after. If your role includes travel you are expected to do the journey and be on top of your emails and phone calls at the same time (unless you can work until 10pm every night is not possible). Top management and directors do not understand how stretched their staff is and how this may impact someone's physical, mental and home life.
