Pros

The bonus scheme reflects the hard work people put in

Cons

Ever since the new CEO started a few years back, employee satisfaction, motivation, and morale has degraded. But I guess thats what you get when you lay off everybody's work friends. Now his name is in the headlines for less than favourable reasons, it's reminiscent of a career politician - someone who doesn't really give a toss, providing his pockets are well lined. He doesn't embody the Skipton ethos. Management doesn't exist really, and not through any fault of their own. The hierarchical system prevents anyone from doing any meaningful work. Instead of enabling people to do work, they are made to do and not think, because the idea that one person can do one job but can't do the other has created a chaotic way of working. How some people's jobs actually exist, I do not know, because nobody has a clue what they do.

We're sorry to hear how you feel. In our last colleague engagement survey, half of our colleagues said they’d actively recommend working here. Our next Peakon survey opens on 24 June, and we’ll be watching and listening intently to what colleagues tell us - we’d encourage you to take the opportunity to have your say too.
