Not a good place to work - Team Leader Tenant Shop Employee Review

You continue in your job primarily because of the strong connections you form with your coworkers and the meaningful relationships that develop over time. These bonds create a supportive atmosphere that makes the workday more enjoyable. Additionally, the fast-paced environment, coupled with a well-established routine, contributes to a sense of stability and purpose, allowing you to thrive both personally and professionally.

Management has become a considerable concern within the organisation, primarily because they fail to listen to their staff 95% of the time. This lack of attentiveness creates a sense of frustration and alienation among employees. Furthermore, the company is undergoing frequent changes—whether related to policies, procedures, or leadership—that contribute to an atmosphere of uncertainty. Communication is lacking at all levels, leading to misunderstandings and a disconnect between management and staff. Additionally, employee mental health is suffering, with many feeling undervalued and unrecognised for their hard work. The absence of appreciation or rewards for accomplishments has resulted in a decline in morale, making it challenging for employees to feel motivated or engaged in their roles. There is no clear path for career progression at this place; any potential routes lead to other departments and could take years to achieve.

Decent views if you're lucky enough to sit next to a window that isn't obstructed by a closed blind.

If you aren't middle to upper management, expect to be treated like a caged monkey. You are constantly under surveillance by your supervisor/line manager. For example being judged for leaving your desk, using the toilet or making a cup of tea. You are not praised for performing well, only chastised when you make a mistake or don't hit a target. Morale is persistently low and there is a tangible negative atmosphere around the office with constant bickering and talking being backs. Relationships form between co-workers and even inter-management, then turn sour. There is a tendency towards nepotism, hiring family/friends where possible. It's generally a dismal place to work.
