Pros

Reliable employer with a genuine commitment to make a difference in their members' lives. Friendly co-workers and an active social calendar make the PPF a pleasant place to work.

Cons

As a statutory not-for-profit organisation don't expect a large salary or large annual pay rises or bonuses. Minimal to no opportunity for promotion within or across the department I was working in.

Thank you very much for your review. It’s great to note your thoughts on the impact we have made and continue to make to our members’ lives. While Covid-19 has certainly had an impact on the events we’ve been able to organise, our Employee Liaison Committee are active in engaging with employees across the business to try to re-introduce social events where possible and we hope to see these return over the coming months. With regard to your comments on pay, we focus on a total reward package but do regularly review to ensure it remains competitive against industry benchmarks. In terms of progression, we do encourage our employees to apply for internal career opportunities, where they do become available. 50% of hires over the financial year 2021/22 (to date) have been internal hires. Thanks again for posting. I hope this response has helped to clarify your points.

Pros

Nice people. That is all.

Cons

I have never worked in such an unprofessional environment. There is a horrible culture of pretending that they know what they are doing while they are years behind other companies. Processes are inadequate and antiquated and it seems that it is less a matter of not wanting to but more being inept and uneducated in what should be done. A special mention must be made of the "training department" who couldnt teach monkey to eat bananas. It is in fact probably within this lazy department that all falls apart. Hiding behind the mantra of "you cant teach anything" they then proceed to teach nothing and con the rest of the business into thinking that it was the employee who had done wrong. Many people have either left or been sacked because of there inability to do their jobs.

Two faced management and Quality Assurance

Pros

Nice offices with some great people who are supportive and knowledgeable.

Cons

Too much favouritism, micro managing and a Quality Assurance Team who seem to rule the roost who are allowed to dictate on who stays or goes. They pretend to be supportive and can't wait to see people fail and give impossible targets to achieve. Management bow down to them and deny any wrongdoing. As for the micro managing these people get above themselves taking all the glory for doing very little and then rewarded for this.
