      Poor management

      Internal auditor
      Current employee
      Manchester, England
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Work from home ALOT (not really a pro) basically work alone all the time

      Cons

      Poor management, from director to, head of and audit managers. None of them are good with people or interacting very impersonal, poor social skills and extremely introverted. Would argue audits aren’t really conducted to the best standard as everyone just wants to work from home and do the minimalist they can, with keeping social conversations at a minimum and like to hide behind emails. How can a national company be audited effectively if you’re not willing to get out and about into the business ? No diversity, if your face doesn’t fit, you’ll definitely be made to know it.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for your long service with us. We appreciate your honesty and the time you have taken to provide feedback. We understand that working remotely does not suit everyone, and we aim to offer flexibility so colleagues can work in the way that helps them perform at their best. For some, that means working from home, and for others, it means being more present in the business. We encourage teams to find the right balance that supports collaboration and quality outcomes. We're sorry to hear your concerns about management and team interaction. Building strong relationships and maintaining high standards are priorities for us, and we encourage colleagues to speak up when they feel improvements can be made. If you feel that you can't approach your manager about this, then there are internal anonymous feedback channels or you can address these through your local colleague voice representative. Your voice matters, and raising concerns helps us create a better working environment for everyone. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we wish you continued success in your role.

      Pros

      Very healthy colleague dynamic, everyone helps and supports each other Benefits and support are brilliant

      Cons

      Long days, expected overtime to complete tasks Stressful workload, often too many cases assigned to one person causes issues Minimal support for a work-life balance, most staff will take their work home with them or be consistently working on down-time or annual leave. Management has minimal involvement, and are often unapproachable
