Pros

Regular pay wage and hours

Cons

After 24 years of service, it is deeply disappointing to say that there has been little to no opportunity for career advancement within this organisation. Loyalty, experience, and dedication to residents appear to count for very little when it comes to promotion opportunities. Senior management changes constantly, creating instability and a lack of clear direction. Each new management team seems disconnected from both frontline staff and the residents we are supposed to care for. There is little consistency, poor communication, and very little genuine concern shown for the wellbeing of residents or long-serving employees. Unfortunately, promotions do not appear to be based on experience, hard work, or capability. Advancement seems heavily influenced by personal friendships with management or whether individuals fit into current diversity and inclusion targets. This has created low morale among experienced staff who feel overlooked despite years of commitment and service.

Pros

1.Working from the office can be fun. 2.There is a little flexibility with work and life balance. 3. There are some good people who have worked here for years especially the front line workers 4. waiting for retirement

Cons

1. The place has gone sad after the takeover. Waterloo took over Fortis and all the Fortis directors left the ship to sink within a week. 2. I think Platform Housing is systematically sexist. Woman are just appointed jobs with high positions here. Working class men do all the jobs that no other wants to do, ensuring that they have very little power 3. Promotion is limited depending on who you know or whether you fit the Platform Diversity and Inclusion criteria 4. The tenants and non management workers are ignored and treated poorly. Its the way Platform do things here
