Pros

Some passionate staff remain since amalgamation.

Cons

Terrible culture, high burnout and staff turnover, and very low morale. A dictatorship with no room for staff to innovate or ask questions for fear of punishment. Bullying by management is the norm. Staff expertise is not valued or nurtured. Little to no staff training or professional development opportunities. Very poor staff facilities. Lack of communication between teams has resulted in countless missed opportunities, duplication of effort and wasted resources.

Pros

Great pay & facilities. Easy to access venue.

Cons

-The managers are hired from odd backgrounds its as if they were hired because they knew someone. -Their management style is 'divide and conquer' and they listen to gossiper and trouble maker rather than team player. I watched very great people be thrown under the bus - Theres a culture of shaming -There are certain staff who make up lies about others, and always try to one up. These facilities are meant to be about the community- there ought to be a strong team because the community relies upon these facilities - They are very money making focussed which is great but you need to remember your roots.
