Good pay, but lack of support and flexibility

Employment law consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Good pay is the only benefit so far. You only get 1% salary increment per year. They claim its a blanket increase pay but other colleagues doing the same job get more.

Cons

no company sick pay, very little flexibility depending on who you are and if you are liked. discretion pay means if you are liked. A lot of staff could genuinely do with extra support finically when they are unable to work i.e. due to sickness or bereavement. makes you feel like you are just a number

I am surprised by some of your comments here as we do have company sick pay and will always be flexible where we can. I can see you are a current colleague so I would ask you to reach out to your HR Business Partner or email on engagement@citation.co.uk as I would love to discuss this further.

Pros

Great company to work for. Lots of perks and benefits like birthday off, pawternity leave, community days, enhanced maternity and paternity pay, lots of free food in offices, and great office events and Christmas party! Lots of room for progression, managers are really supportive and pay is good!

Cons

Not many cons but if I had to pick one, I'd say more regular night time socials
