Pros
The company has excellent facilities, a strong reputation, and genuinely invests in community and charitable initiatives. There are many talented and dedicated people throughout the business, making it a good place to start a career and gain valuable experience. The organisation provides exposure to a wide range of opportunities and has many employees who care deeply about the company’s success.
Cons
Unfortunately, there is an atmosphere of fear that often sits above the organisation. Relationships between management and directors can be challenging, creating a constant internal political battle. Too much time and energy is spent on protecting positions and navigating internal conflicts rather than collaborating towards shared goals. This can result in people feeling they need to look after themselves first, sometimes at the expense of colleagues and overall business performance. The company is also behind many modern working practices and would benefit from embracing more contemporary approaches to leadership, flexibility, communication, and employee wellbeing.
