Pros

My team make the shift go by quicker

Cons

The targets are unachievable, there is too much work load and not a lot of help. Most of the team does not meet them. Not much investment into training.

Hi there, Thanks for sharing your feedback. It’s good to hear your team has made the day-to-day easier. We’re sorry to hear you’re finding the workload and targets tough at the moment. That’s obviously not how we want anyone to feel, especially when it comes to support and training. As you’re still part of the team, it would actually be really helpful to talk this through properly rather than trying to guess from a review. If you’re open to it, please drop the People Team an email so we can understand what’s going on and see where we can help. Thank you

Pros

We’ve assembled a team of highly skilled, capable individuals who genuinely want to do great work. It’s a shame that increasing demands and limited support are making it harder for that talent to thrive.

Cons

Responsibilities have increased significantly with little to no additional support, making it difficult to succeed in our roles. In the current climate of rising costs and inflation, targets have become increasingly unrealistic and disconnected from market conditions. The overall atmosphere has deteriorated, with morale declining and concerns frequently going unheard. Employees often feel unsupported, undervalued, and dismissed rather than listened to.

Hello! Thanks for taking the time to share this. It’s good to hear you recognise the strength of the team - we know there are a lot of talented people, particularly in your team! At the same time, we’re sorry to read that you feel the demands of the role have increased without the support to match. Feedback around workload, targets and morale is important, and it’s something leadership does need to hear when people feel the balance isn’t right. As you’re still part of the business, we’d really encourage you to speak with us directly so we can better understand what’s behind these concerns rather than trying to interpret them from a review. If you’re open to it, please drop the People Team an email so we can have a proper conversation.

Overworked and underpaid

Pros

Most people stay with the business for the people and colleagues but if you thrive in high-pressure environments, this role offers a constant sense of urgency, a demanding workload, and plenty of fast-paced problem-solving then this is the place for you.

Cons

The overall culture at PHMG feels out of step with the modern standards seen across most mainstream workplaces. Despite clear and consistent feedback from much of the workforce on issues such as flexibility and wellbeing, senior leadership appears resistant to meaningful change. If you don’t fully align with the company ethos, concerns can be dismissed, and you may be made to feel as though you simply lack “resilience.” Under Gareth’s management, there has been, to what many perceive as unnecessary stress and anxiety across teams. I have rarely seen a team with such a high number of employees on stress-related sick leave, often without adequate support, understanding, or meaningful intervention. The only priority for managers right now is buying a new building with ping pong tables and a roof bar!
