Vantaggi
-There are good opportunities for progression — I’ve seen around 6–8 people advance during my 2–3 years at head office.
-The overall environment supports wellbeing, with benefits like downtime, a wellbeing hour, birthday leave, a solid sick pay policy, and work events. This is better than any of my previous roles.
-The team has a strong, close-knit feel — it genuinely feels like a family.
Svantaggi
-Managers appear to face a higher level of scrutiny here compared to my previous employment.
I understand that management roles naturally come with increased responsibility, including performance delivery, supervision, and monitoring behaviour. However, the difference in pay between my role and more entry-level positions does not feel proportionate to these added pressures.
There have also been instances where I felt the HR department provided unclear or inaccurate information. At the time, I chose not to pursue these issues further for the sake of my own wellbeing, but I have kept a record of them should they need to be addressed in the future.
When dealing with challenging team members and the internal issues they may cause, it is concerning to observe what feels like a more cautious or protective approach toward them. This appears inconsistent with how similar behavioural matters are handled at management level, where expectations and consequences seem to differ.
