•Low Pay: The pay doesn’t reflect the effort or workload of employees or support financial stability.
•Incompetent leadership: Some senior staff lack the necessary skills, leaving junior staff unsupported and undervalued.
•Limited Progression Opportunities: Despite promises of promotions or pay raises for dedicated staff, these rarely come through especially for junior members of staff.
•Dismissive of Feedback: Concerns about being overworked or undervalued are brushed aside without real solutions; staff are told they are “putting too much pressure on themselves” and left to deal with this alone.
•Poor Work-Life Balance: Concerns about work-life balance are often raised, but there is no emotional or practical support provided to address these issues.
•High Turnover Rate: The ongoing issues contribute to a high turnover, leaving teams understaffed for extended periods as they struggle to replace employees - only for the cycle to repeat.
•Lack of professionalism: There is a lot of gossip among senior members who undermine and discuss the abilities of their colleagues and ex colleagues, which reflects a clear lack of professionalism.
