Vantaggi
- Friendly colleagues - In contrast to centralised HR functions; individual teams and managers are usually accommodating, supportive and pleasant to work with/for.
Svantaggi
- The business is currently undergoing a mass round of demotions and stripping of benefits. Pay and benefits are low to begin with compared to the market and the new structure will limit the opportunities for pay rises and promotions in the future -Head office is decrepit. Mice are frequently spotted during the day and you rarely have to look too hard for mice droppings. The roof also leaks. - The feeling I get is that the business has entered a managed decline. There is little appetite to be competitive against new entrants to the market. - Employees are seen as a revenue stream. Colleagues have overheard staff in the canteen been criticised by their supervisors for not 'focusing on the upsell'. If you bring your own lunch you have to pay for salt. Not all teams even get tea/coffee provided.
