Pros
Generous holiday entitlement. Good training provision. Some good people. It used to be much better.
Cons
It defies belief some of the stuff that goes on. It’s gone down hill fast and in desperate need of a shake up. Inequality. Double standards. Unethical working practices and behaviours – from the higher ranks. Toxic and oppressive working environment. Weak, incompetent, manipulative, and unethical (mostly hidden) behaviours from senior management. Clique. Face-fit matters. Hidden agendas. Blame culture. Hierarchical. I’m better than you attitude. Extremely poor leadership – leaders who are not leaders. Self-serving senior staff protecting their own interests, sometimes at the detriment of their staff. A feeling of being institutionalised. Afraid to leave. A feeling of not being good enough – a by-product of the culture. Lack of prioritisation. Just get more staff attitude. Presents a significant overhead. Group messages from senior leaders different and contradictory to reality. They are masters of spin (the staff see through it). Grievances not dealt with either sensitively or impartially. Loyalty and dedication apparently accounts for nothing Good people tend to move on quickly.
