Very low pay across the board especially at lower levels (receptionists, professional staff, entry level technical staff).
Hostile head office environment - no warmth among colleagues.
Hostile work environment in some branches.
Inconsistent policies (i.e. uniform policy sporadically enforced amongst branches, higher duties sporadically enforced, most policies manually calculated / administered.)
Incompetent management staff.
HR team of 3 for over 600 staff.
Everything is filed manually in manilla / leaver arch folders (one fire and all records would be gone!).
I experienced bullying from a member of the senior management team - a super charming place to work!
