Pros

Opportunity for development through training and great clients

Cons

If your face doesn’t fit and you whistleblow there is no chance!

Pros

Some colleagues I came across were understanding and genuine people, however they too often felt unsupported by the organisation. Support staff were caring towards people using the service despite being paid poorly compared to similar jobs elsewhere.

Cons

Team was not aware that I was due to start in my role when I arrived on the first day. Did not have any supervision or local induction throughout my employment with them following this and received sarcastic and unsupportive management, often feeling intimidated. Did not have a clear role and this role was not wanted in the team. I had to create a role for myself and learn company processes myself. High turnover of staff across the board. Current staff were asked to write positive reviews of the company to balance out negative reviews. Pay was low compared to other graduate roles with poor company benefits such as sick pay.

Pros

Good people with good hearts are there...albeit downtrodden but they are some diamonds

Cons

Where do I start...poor pay...limited in house training...I could go on....just dont work there.

Pros

Some lovely staff in other departments at head office.

Cons

Senior management are not supportive at all and will find a way to remove you if your face doesn't fit. Low pay so retention is poor therefore agency bills very high...and agency paid more that the staff on duty to do nothing. A culture of backstabbing as opposed to united front. No thanks for good work but as soon as anything goes wrong fingers are pointed. Lack of qualified managers. Lack of finances to invest.
