Pros

Great people trying to achieve great things. Our service users benefit from the work we do and we have satisfaction from this.

Cons

More work than achievable and an underperforming, yet overstaffed HR department who are unwilling to help or support. I often get a better response from Google. Senior managers have an ‘us’ and ‘them’ approach, like in CEO updates which always start with from the senior management team and end in the same manner.

Thank you for the review and point of view regarding Julian House and how we operate. We would encourage you to have a further conversation to discuss your experience. As an organisation, we are constantly trying to find ways to listen to our people's feedback, and will continue to do so. Our CEO as well as the HR department are there to support(and listen to) all employees and managers across the organisation.. HR are often supporting to facilitate different discussions/team sessions - so that we can continue getting feedback and work with people to resolve issues, so please come forward to discuss your experience so we can improve it.

Pros

- Brilliant people completing difficult work across all departments. - The work was tough but rewarding. - Clients and referees were incredibly kind on the whole. - Puts you in touch with some other great local organisations. - A small and local organisation that emphasises grassroot projects. - Great training modules are offered to assist with your work and to help fill knowledge gaps.

Cons

- The redundancy process is really poor, in which little to no effort is put into you remaining with the company in a different position. - Following redundancy there is no checkup on you as an individual, you are forgotten the moment you leave. - Managers reap the benefits of people doing difficult grassroot work. - Communication across departments can be difficult due to changing environments. - Managers do little to support you. - Senior management structure is ineffective.
