Pros

Pension is good and flexitime is a great benefit - but somewhat offset by lower holiday entitlement than a lot of places.

Cons

Senior leadership doing and saying all the wrong things. In the face of considerable change over the past 12 months (new CEO, change of office, departure of several high-profile Directors), the approach seems to be to disengage and unsettle everyone further. Ongoing industrial action not being resolved, low staff morale is a known issue. Talks of organisational development and 'working smarter' with an already unhappy workforce is driving the wedge in. Total lack of emotional intelligence and management style is about 3 decades out of date. Lip service paid to wellbeing, mental health, EDI etc. when the reality is that TPR is a toxic workplace. This is remedied by having 'face-to-face' meetings with leadership where many employees find it difficult to be honest and when they are, get closed down.

Pros

Some fabulous people there who really care about their function and work

Cons

So many. 1. A COO office that condones afternoons spent in the pub where lies, stories and misinformation about colleagues are widely circulated to the gullable and select few. 2. Those who work concientiously are abused for highlighting the incompetence of others. 3. Executive Management fail to action grievances / complaints about members of staff (who often have a record of complaints about them) and acknowledge the toxic work environment and protect those who abuse the system 4. Favouritism - if your face fits, you will get on (regardless of your abilities - the more incompetent you are the better in that respect). 5. Executive Management have no idea on how to act or respect others - there is constant in-fighting and school ground behaviour.
