Rauland Reviews

While there are talented people within the organisation, the past year has brought several challenges that have heavily impacted employee morale and overall job satisfaction. 1. Low Pay & No Progression Compensation has remained stagnant with no pay rises offered, despite increasing workloads and ongoing staff shortages. This has left many employees feeling undervalued and unsure about their future within the company. 2. New CEO & Shift in Company Direction Since the new CEO’s arrival, the company’s direction feels increasingly focused on profits rather than people. The original values around employee happiness, wellbeing, and work–life balance seem to have been deprioritised. 3. Rigid 4:1 Office Policy The introduction of a strict 4:1 in-office policy has removed the flexibility employees once relied on. 4. Decline in Culture & Community Social events and team-building initiatives have disappeared entirely. What was once a strong, supportive culture now feels disconnected, with little investment in employee engagement or wellbeing. 5. Burnout & Understaffing Teams are understaffed and everyone is stretched thin. Burnout is becoming the norm, yet there are no visible actions being taken to address the workload, hire adequate support, or improve processes. Overall The company has shifted away from the values that once made it a great place to work. With rigid policies, low pay, and a lack of cultural investment, many employees are feeling exhausted and unheard. Meaningful change will require leadership to reconnect with staff needs, improve communication, and act on the concerns that have been repeatedly raised

- PROFIT OVER PEOPLE (this is the future direction of the company, warning!) - Closed-minded and unsupportive management - Old-school work culture with no employee benefits, staff wellbeing or regular events - Pay rises either non-existent or only increased to match inflation - Only consistent staff events are town halls which is 1 hr of managers sharing updates that aren't relevant to staff - Watched like a hawk to ensure all communal areas, your desk stations and vehicles are OCD level clean - if anything is deemed untidy, could be as small as finding a crumb on the floor or leaving a mug on your desk, we get disallowed to access certain areas/office equipment - 4 days in office. this was so we could "collaborate" as a team more but no one actually talks to anyone and managers do not inspire a warm, welcoming or supportive space at all
