Toxic management overshadows good benefits

Associate

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

- Good contributory pension - Subsidised canteen

Cons

One of the worst places I have worked - management team are just toxic. Constant changes, most middle managers only there due to others leaving and then they don’t have the skills/training to support teams or lead. Constant focus changing, constant reviews and top heavy pressure. Unapproachable senior members of staff, everything goes through senior formal routes (its a tiny org not a mega corp!) Thank god it’s getting abolished.
