Terrible employers Bullying culture Micromanagement Lack of direction Head office view the people they’re supposed to be supporting as numbers, not people

- Very low pay - one of the lowest in the industry. - work load is immense and unrelenting and ignoring it is managements strategy for dealing with it. "We are all busy" is the common phrase reiterated to me when I raised this. - Job descriptions do not accurately reflect what the job is you actually do. You always do more. - The organisation as a whole is very bureauocratic. - Depending on the location the services itself and the staff can be quite institutionalised and 'old school' - How you are treated and the opportunities you are offered will depend solely on your direct line manager. - Managers often play favourites with particular staff and will set different standards and expectations for different staff at the same level. - Management are so busy chasing after their goals and getting staff to do extra for these goals, they forget to look back and check on how the actual team is handling it all. Which more often than not, is not well. - The constant focus on projects and things that look good for Loca Authority commissioners can take away from actually focussing on quality support.
