Pros

Most colleagues are wonderful and a pleasure to work with.

Cons

If you are looking to develop a career in local government, then don't join as a PSO. There is very limited career development or progression. Issues with Senior Leadership as well, not understanding how the organisation is run to do a restructure.

Pros

The people are specialists in their fields, bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience to improve local government across the sector.

Cons

A recent change in management has destroyed the collaborative and supportive nature of the organisation where staff were once seen as an asset. A proposed restructure will see a significant downgrading of roles across the piece. It is hard to see how the LGA can continue to be effective in leading sector led improvement if it doesn’t have a knowledgeable and experienced workforce.
