Pros

can literally think of none

Cons

The organisation operates in a very risky way in terms of not equipping staff with adequate training, not providing sufficient resources to ensure services are able to operate safely, no transparency in terms of budgets for managers to actually manage them (would go as far as to say fraud is being committed on the HB budgets), HR have far too much power and decision making across the organisation led by an ineffective head of HR. I saw appalling practices across services, lack of consistency in applying policies and procedures (when they were in place) and a complete lack of any professional curiosity and lead by example leadership at senior levels. HR do not take action against disruptive staff, and instead get involved in decisions like whether you can recruit, without knowing enough about contracts (and don't get me started on the employment contract management in place - what a mess!). I left after 6 months as I could not reputationally work there knowing of such poor practices and having no agency to change their culture. Sincerely, there are other organisations that deliver the work Trident do that operate in a far more effective, safe and consistent way and who actually value their staff. Their office where ops staff are mostly based is a terrible building. Not even a hot tap that works, but of course at the best office where the CEO is, there is and a decent staff room! One toilet upstairs for staff only too.

Pros

Some fantastic staff that really try hard in an often difficult environment. Team work with front line staff is fantastic and everyone really wants to help and support each other. Good training opportunities. Free parking in the city centre!

Cons

The senior management do not effectively support staff, there is a blame culture from management down and changes take a long time to take effect. The infrastructure of IT, HR and Finance do not support the operations and often it can feel like an uphill battle to get to perform well.
