Disjointed organisation and poor training

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits such as the 75% discount on a season ticket. Flexible hours and generous holiday allowance.

Cons

As a Band 5 I have found the internal training either poor or non existent leaving new starters to pick up their role and learn through mistakes and devising their own knowledge documentation. The Personal Objectives procedure is flawed and is open to allowing personal relationships between Line Manager and Employee, negative or positive, sway the final results which can have catastrophic consequences on the individuals home life and private finances. The appeal process is very long and drawn out which puts a lot of people off from pursuing.
