Croda reviews about "work life balance"

- salary is lower than competition - location is only reachable if you have a car - no electric chargers at the head office

The current system lacks fair competition and a reasonable reward structure, which reflects poorly on management, giving the impression of inefficiency and unprofessionalism. Many supervisors are recruited externally rather than being developed through internal training programs, leading to frustration among high-performing employees who feel there are limited opportunities for advancement. Additionally, the ongoing decline in sales has resulted in below-average salaries, making it challenging to attract and retain top talent. This situation perpetuates a vicious cycle that further undermines the company's growth and morale.

Resources can be better suppported

- Widnes - Ditton road pot-holes

Low salaries Slow growth Poor bonus structure

Disorganised senior management (below exec) at sector level which leads to insecurity about job role, purpose and input; very slow decisions at senior management level and very little engagement - it’s like waiting for the smoke to rise from the Vatican sometimes; unjustified dislike of ‘process’ throughout the business means no stage gate management on any projects either new or existing development (because apparently this stifles agility) but ultimately results in lack of delivery; things are generally managed on the fly with no control over scope creep and with ill informed senior management either not empowering or not listening to subject experts; not a great deal of employee visibility from senior sector management (one webinar a quarter doesn’t really cut the mustard)

Swing shift. 2 weeks on days 2 weeks on nights. Difficult adjustment.

No individual growth in the company.

None come to mind at the moment
