Pros

Values - if only they believed in them and followed them Front line staff that always go above and beyond

Cons

Really poor leadership Blame and fear culture Micro management Senior management tell you to be "customer obsessed" and ensure you fully live and breathe the values but they don't do it themselves - they don't do what they said they will, they lie and blame you for issues when they can If colleagues raise issues they are turned as the problem. In the several years I worked for them I have lost lots of great staff as they fail to listen to people and not deal with issues properly and swiftly. Instead issues escalate and becomes even bigger. They will burn you out and drain you demanding more and more out of you. If you work late, whether you are an administrator or support worker noone care and is expected with no financial compensation. The high turnover and high sickness levels throughout the organisation mean that the staff are left are overworked and stretched with no meaningful support. There are constant restructures which are badly planned and no thought of any alternatives when things don't go as planned. Instead you are told you are "not working efficiently" whenever an issue is raised.

Pros

Nice people in the team

Cons

No support training not the best. They promote you need to be customer obsessed but when you try to go the extra mile they are asking how long you are going to be.

Pros

Some colleagues were friendly and wanted to help. Decent pension and leave allowance on paper.

Cons

Extremely poor handling of disability and safeguarding disclosures. Grievance and appeal procedures are box-ticking exercises—no meaningful outcomes. Management made empty promises and then ignored them. HR lacked compassion and transparency, especially around sensitive issues. My former role was re-posted for £4,000 less—disheartening and exploitative.
