Pros

Pay is ok but not great no incentive to go above and beyond People are nice to work with

Cons

Poor office location if commuting on public transport anywhere but Leeds Centre Minimal pay increases no incentive to do more especially when business is posting record recoveries. Lack of flexibility - unwilling to discuss 4 day working week with no real explanation other then ‘doesn’t fit our business model’. Increasing mandatory days in office. Multiple increases in last year. They state this is to increase engagement/productivity. This depends on team/individual and shouldn’t be top down. My team do nothing special on office days, rarely have meeting in office and when we do still on Zoom due to others not been in office.

Pros

Modern office with good views

Cons

Worked in the commercial team for under a year. There are some nice colleagues, but management is extremely inconsistent. Rules and procedures seem to change regularly depending on the situation, and the leadership style feels very wishy-washy. The environment is also heavily micromanaged, which affects morale.

Good culture of group as a whole. 2 days in the office with free on site parking

Cons

Poor management. Favouritism is very common and management aware but nothing is done about it. Good solicitor allowed to leave leaving less experienced.
