Pros

Was a good place to work until people with egos bigger than the company came in trying to change and restructure without any knowledge of the business. Forcing through petty changes to disrupt the workforce to until an unpopular working practice.

Cons

Lack of understanding by top level management about the sector we were in and not being engaged with customers correctly. To many simple mistakes being made by promising to much to customers to fulfil their needs without the infrastruture to back it up.

Pros

Pension Company car Share save scheme

Cons

Toxic culture rooted in arrogance and outdated views. Senior sales leadership shows little respect for diversity or professionalism. Racist, sexist and homophobic attitudes are tolerated, creating an unsafe and demoralising environment. Integrity, inclusion and accountability are entirely missing from the top down.

Pros

- Different locations and various opportunities across sectors.

Cons

At a company social event, a senior leader behaved in a way that felt exclusionary and undermining toward those outside their inner circle. This was followed the next day by the same individual rudely interrupting a presentation I was delivering in order to hold a prolonged side discussion with other attendees, which was both disruptive and dismissive. Together, these experiences raised concerns about leadership standards, inclusivity, and psychological safety. The apparent tolerance of this behaviour at senior levels suggests deeper cultural issues and a lack of effective safeguarding for employees.
