Pros
Some good people willing to help when you need it
Cons
What has happened to this company? I worked there for a little while and I have seen MANY changes, none of them good. Leaders of this business are autocratic in their leadership style and just give instruction for change without any quantifiable justification and this is communicated in a rushed manner without any consideration of how messages land and the impact they have on the people they affect. Senior Leadership really have no grasp of what is happening at the coal face. Communication is terrible as there are inconsistencies in messages from a variety of people none of which will take responsibility - easy to pass it off as someone else's inability when really the mirror needs to be held up. There are also individuals who will be nice to your face but will throw you under the bus when the chips are down. Big blame culture. Staff are subjected to constant change, there are some significant failings of senior leaders that have been passed off/pacified by blaming others. Performance management and micromanagement are abundant here. Over complicated procedures and processes mean you get bogged down in unnecessary red tape. There are many people who were feeling extremely stressed and it made me uncomfortable seeing colleagues struggling to cope. Pareto says that it cares for its apprentices which is mainly true however the same cannot be said for their own staff. Large turnover. Seen some amazing, talented people go as they simply had enough of the toxic bureaucratic culture. Nothing you do will be good enough. You are led to believe that the grass is not greener on the other side - I can categorically tell you that it is. I had to get out before I lost my soul and my mental health was seriously affected. Avoid avoid avoid!
