Inexperienced middle managers don't know how to do their job. Unclear who I even report to, confusing company structure.
Job title was changed between offer of employment and contract - this was not discussed.
No consultation before changes to schedule/planning, constantly diverted and reassigned with no notice.
No opportunity to show potential, shadowing other techs yields nothing, being sent to 'assist' on project work with nothing to actually do, no instruction, and too many people for the job, then getting told I'm not being proactive enough.
Despite being a 'hybrid' role I was told I wasn't in the office enough (happened to be local to one of 2 offices in the entire country - how would this apply to anyone else), office consists only of 1st line support working on docking stations - no real need to be there especially if not working locally, and no other field consultants present. Office working offers no benefits over remote,
Company claims there's a big focus on training and development - no training courses offered, and most training materials are just recordings of teams meetings. 40h of mandatory training a year and hardly enough material to fill it.
Office staff cliquey and unwelcoming.
Encouraged to ask other staff for support - not forthcoming when you do. Teams chats more filled with in-jokes than actual work.
On-job feedback was withheld from me to build a case against me- no opportunity to address issues or improve, just dismissed without a second word.
Generally hostile atmosphere. Upper management good, but not involved in day-to-day.
More focus on visiting as many sites as possible, rather than helping clients and seeing jobs through to completion.
New hires not treated equally with established techs, different standards, one rule for one etc. Rendered shadowing useless as existing techs held to account a lot less.
Was looked down on for being agency and not direct hired - two other agency hires were sent with me and both had walked out by the end of day 1.
Induction materials not relevant to actual job.
