Too many bosses, not enough leaders - Firefighter Northern Ireland Fire Service Employee Review

Poorly run from the top down Money and resources wasted on needless projects Wrong people being promoted No unsocial hours pay Pension scheme has been decimated Standard of new employees dropping due to lowering of standards, strength, and fitness requirements. Pay is very poor for the first 3 years. It is almost necessary to have additional employment. Once deemed competent, it can take a long time (over a year) to start receiving the correct pay, which is simply unacceptable.
