Management poor, Zero progression, Low pay, Unfair working conditions, "Us and Them" Culture
Pros
I worked for Tees for 3 unfortunate years and I am sorry to say that I cannot think of one!
Cons
Do not expect any support from your team leader or manager when it comes to workload or indeed any issue within your team. You will be listened to, but it will not be acted upon/rectified/taken any further. The solicitors/managers are simply not interested in any matters concerning support staff, only that their work is done. This firm expects you to work all the hours to keep up, but will not pay you a single penny of overtime. Disgraceful. Not allowed to book holiday during busy periods, if you do, your team will moan about you! Promotions available for the right people already working within support, but only when it suits Tees. No professional training offered either- just expected to get on with it. Redundancies will be threatened, and made, as a route to get rid of staff if they do not fit the bill. High turnaround of support staff within several of the Tees offices. No car parking for support staff- solicitors only. I could go on and list the games played by these people, but it would be endless. AVOID.
