Pros

Parking is good, reception is helpful

Cons

Lack of Work, Poor Management, and No Career Growth I joined the Education department hoping for a stable role with meaningful work. Unfortunately, in three months I was given only one piece of work, despite repeatedly asking my manager for responsibilities or clarification. When I raised concerns about the lack of work, I was made to feel as though the issue was my performance, even though the work I completed was approved by the courts. There was noticeable favouritism, very little guidance, and no real opportunities for development. The environment felt discouraging and at times bullying. I had left a stable job to join this company, so I tried to make it work, but ultimately I was let go on the same day my manager finally admitted that work “just isn’t coming in.” Seeing that they are hiring again for the same position, I feel it’s important to share my experience so others can make an informed decision. Poor communication, unstable workload, and unclear management expectations made this a very difficult place to work. I wouldn’t recommend this role to anyone looking for stability or career progression.

Pros

Welcoming atmosphere, great induction, loads of training opportunities. Seniors always looking for ways to push juniors forward. Peers and leadership team all eager to help when needed. Office is easy to get to and park.

Cons

Need to be able to drive if you work in the Cardiff office. Don't forget your lunch, nowhere to walk to!

Pros

The firm supports it's employees through the different phases of personal life, for example when returning from maternity leave. Management is flexible in considering phased returns and a flexible working approach upon full return. Salaries are competitive with performance reviews taking place each year. Hybrid working is a pro too.

Cons

No cons come to mind.
