Pros

Agile working. Good welfare package and benefits.

Cons

Department poorly managed and understaffed. Managers failing to lead and look after their staff appropriately. Huma. Resources unwilling to take concerns seriously. Ridiculously high case load that is unmanageable and exposes young people to significant risk.

Pros

Supportive and encouraging staff, Good benefits and holiday with volunteer leave opportunities, accessibility to the senior leadership team, good staff meetings and team meetings where information is shared, plenty of learning and development opportunities, buddied with another remote working member of staff

Cons

Finance processes are not clear and team is hard to contact, Maternity policy is not as good as my last workplace (but not sure on comparison to wider businesses),

Pros

You have the ability to work flexibly and to a schedule that suits you best as long as you attend all meetings when set. Very good morale and nice trips to meet all of your fellow colleagues for events and meetings. Your mental well-being is also considered with 1 hour breaks every Tuesday and Thursday where you’re free to do whatever with your time. Colleagues are also very welcoming especially when you’re new so you settle in quite fast. All expenses are covered when it comes to travelling.

Cons

Sometimes there can be a slight lack of work to keep you busy depending on your position but I guess this can be seen as both a good thing and a bad thing.
