Pros

Most middle management and more junior staff are kind friendly and as supportive as they can be in the circumstances.

Cons

Senior leadership team is a club for long service employees with little idea how to run an organisation. All work is pushed to middle management with insufficient resources, and the middle management team are overloaded and exhausted yet the leadership team do nothing about it. Despite supposed short hours culture/contract (key “benefit” is our 33.75hour working week, ha!) most managers are working 40+ hours per week and still cannot keep on top of the workload. Insufficient investment over many years in systems and teams doing the core work means the organisation is now at breaking point and cannot deliver to the profession it serves.

Pros

Some of the people were nice. Good pension contributions and get to work from home.

Cons

Bullying and passive aggression goes unchecked , mainly because some of the perpetrators are fairly high up in the organisation. Either micro managed or not told anything. Culture of senior management paying lip service to helping mental health, however in practice you are pretty much unsupported when very challenging issues occur. Very arbitrary rules depending on who your line manager is. Unclear objectives, got shouted at once by a member of senior management.

Pros

Lower seniority staff looked out for each other, staff benefits were decent and not much else.

Cons

The environment is toxic. If you stand up for what you believe in, your time will be made very difficult by senior management, ensuring you hate the job so much that you either cry often or leave for any other job you can secure.
