Pros

Seriously??? Nothing good here... I wish I could say more, but really nothing

Cons

The HR leadership has proved over and over again to be inept. VERY POOR ATTITUDE! " No one has any respect for HR. Your either in or out. Fast at making changes without thinking things through. We change direction like the wind, as a result we have competent, helpful, skilful staff leave the business. Even though we are making money and business has increased, the moral and culture has hit rock bottom thanks to HR. You cannot take ownership of your work while managers are treating you like pieces on a game board. It seems like re-organisations are done without thinking of the employees as humans, a lot of people get burned. Management either micro manage or simply don't seem to care. Advancement is hit and miss and can take forever to go through the system (people have to wait up to 6 months for a position promised to them). No one talks to each other. It's a large and complex company, and that means projects are running left right and centre which could've easily been done together. Multiple systems for the same thing and no one appears to know at all. Don't be fooled by their appearances and promises. They will pain a fantastic picture of how good this organisation is - actual fact... disappointing!

Thanks for your feedback. I agree, we have very competent, helpful and skillful staff, and with an average tenure of 13 years and low turnover there is often multiple applicants for internal promotions. There have been a number of changes within the business over the last 18 months, and we are aware everyone adjusts to change at different paces. We encourage you to talk to your manager as part of your Performance and Development Dialogue session to ensure you are getting engaging work.

Pros

Plenty of parking, close to highway

Cons

Workplace is toxic, dysfunctional, and psychologically draining. Management is the root cause of problems, fostering a culture that tolerates: Harassment Intimidation Favoritism and nepotism Sexism Employees are expected to remain silent and continue working under constant pressure. High levels of: Employee burnout Stress Overwork Turnover Human Resources protects the company and management rather than employees. Complaints are often minimized, ignored, or redirected without meaningful resolution. Issues are widespread and known by many employees, though some are reluctant to speak publicly. Prospective employees seriously reconsider working there, the company presents a positive image externally but has a deeply unhealthy internal culture marked by poor leadership, lack of accountability, and low employee well-being.
