Pros

Training, and the skills learned in the training experience only.

Cons

By far the worst job I have ever had. No care for their staff whatsoever, and bare minimum care for their service users. Staff turnover was extremely high. I was dismissed due to health reasons. It is the only job I've ever worked which does not provide uninterrupted breaks, claiming they have some "loophole". Staff spirit is low, gossip is rampant, and long-serving staff members were punished for expressing discontent.

Pros

None at all apart from a paycheck!

Cons

TOXIC UNSAFE environment Bullying culture 10 staff left within 10 weeks Union confirmed some 5-star reviews are based on the managers being asked to leave them Extremely poor and unsafe processes Staff being harmed by service users sometimes Zero support for staff The Director confirmed the training they provide is not up to scratch Staff are taking other service users' products due to a lack of supply/organisation At times, there have been more agency staff than staff working for the service. Extremely unorganised The organisation is not disability friendly to staff I believe the organisation's current operating model is making some service users' well-being worse and some previous staff members have also said this.
