Pros
I worked with several different departments for a number of years and some of them were brilliant to work with. I believe most of the colleagues got to work from home as part of the hybrid 'blended lifestyle' which was good. Some benefits are okay {but could've been better}. Could park onsite (then anyway)
Cons
There have been too many restructures, resulting in the loss of numerous talented and loyal colleagues. The Senior Management Team was overly bloated, with many senior members being inexperienced and prone to making irrational and unwise decisions. The Senior Management Team should be known as 'Senior Knee-Jerk Management Team'. I witnessed bullying by the Senior Management Team, which regularly impacted their teams. Before I left, there was erratic behaviour and micromanagement by the Head of Sales, Neighbourhood & Safer Communities Manager and the Heads/Director of Neighbourhood and Customer Services which was completely unacceptable - yet they seemed to get away with it. I hope they have left. The recent CEO was diabolical. He believed he knew everything but lacked experience in the housing sector. Coming from KPMG did not make him an expert in this field. I heard that several directors left under his leadership, even though they were there for only a short time. There was a lack of career progression for peers, with too many excuses and unresolved issues being swept under the rug. Their employee retention was poor. Paragon and Asra should have never merged in the first place.
