Great people, shame about the senior management within my department

Pros

Great working environment full of people who work hard and are passionate about their job. I felt valued as an HR professional by my client groups and the directors I supported. Also flexible working creates a great work life balance.

Cons

The senior management within the department I worked were either bullies, incompetent of making a decision or turned a blind eye to bad behaviour displayed by their senior managers within their team. I am shocked that other senior managers have not questioned this behaviour due to the high turnover within the department.

Pros

Great perks if a football fan

Cons

Slow paced, bureaucratic and aggressive culture made my dream job into one where you dread going to work. If you like having ownership, creativity, and being trusted as a professional, do not join The FA.
