Pros

Some talented and hardworking colleagues who genuinely care about their work. Decent office environment with some modern amenities.

Cons

Incompetent senior leadership team with little to no understanding of key business areas. Rampant nepotism; jobs often go to family and friends of senior staff, bypassing proper interview processes. A culture of secrecy, rumors, and unethical practices, including potential backhanders and bribes. Yearly work event at the Beacon of Light is a self-absorbed light show that serves as a pat on the back for the directors. Promotions and career advancements are based on who can suck up to the boss the most, rather than merit or skill. A toxic work culture where employees are pitted against each other for the favor of management. No clear communication or transparency from the top down, leading to confusion and low morale.

Pros

Salary, weekends off and half day finish Friday. Work colleagues.

Cons

Innovation is not encouraged, initiative is a bad thing. Wanting to go the extra mile for the tenants is seen as "bending the rules". This has to be one of the worst career experiences for me. There was no training, and for someone joining externally from outside the company, no training was a real issue. No direction, just plonked with another worker to shadow and go through some online courses. Very poor employer from Management upwards. Colleagues there were tremendous though.

Pros

Free coffee. That is all.

Cons

Too many managers, if your face doesn’t fit you won’t go far. No career progression. Discipline for having a laugh with your mates, sack people for having lunch outside a very strict time regardless of how busy you are - if you don’t get it, don’t expect to be able to take it later. Pay is poor. Management are clowns. Had to cancel annual leave on my sons birthday to attend a self congratulatory annual conference or be disciplined
