The "cons" outweighed the "pros" - Administrator Capita Employee Review

Where do I start? In the area that I was employed there was a HUGE (and I mean HUGE) turnover of staff. When I was hired, I felt - WOW! Got a job! - then I realised that provided you had a basic grasp of numbers and could string two words together you were certain of a position. After a while I understood why so many people left. Performance targets. There was a certain programme which you needed to use to track the minutes you'd taken to perform every single on of your individual tasks - couple this with your very own "error reports" and you feel like you are back at Primary School. The only people who seemed happy to be there were the ones who had been in the organisation since the Year Dot. I'd be happy to be there too if I had a very generous allotment of holiday and an enormous pay packet. Every month, we'd be treated to the sight of a group of fresh faced young people being shown around the building and we'd mentally make bets on how long they'd stay. Never very long. My last day there was the happiest I'd been in a LONG time. Beware.
