Pros

Some great people in branches and some good divisional managers who look after their teams .

Cons

Poor leadership, little innovation, poor salaries at branch level, no succession planning, like many high street agencies service treated as a numbers game so number of calls more important than quality. Candidate experience can be very poor

Pros

Weekly pay was paid every Friday.

Cons

Working for brook street public sector Birmingham has destroyed my mental health. I wasn't based in Birmingham but they were my employer for a specific Civil service company where toxicity and bullying is extremely high. They were unsupportive and clearly just saw me as a number- they're regularly hiring for the same company. I have now started therapy to help me deal with all the problems I faced for over a year. Brook street Birmingham Public sector provided no regular check ins or support or simply bother to help me. I would never advise anyone to work here. No sick pay. No real benefits whatsoever! No assistance.
