BSI reviews

no control over the planning of work. Little respect from positions above. No personal time, must travel on the weekends and work on reports on the weeks as you are at clients 5 days a week

- improvement activities focus on office based staff when large percentage are home based (and consequently somewhat excluded from initiatives / improvements) - focus on selling products, gaining clients when already operating at capacity (if not beyond) and are a "not for profit" organisation.. this is not reflected in the message for senior management - not enough admin time allowed for assessors, productivity requirements are too high leaving a feeling of "burning out" or just being a cog in a much larger machine! - internal communication is often poor and convoluted due to the large size of the organisation and the fact that much of the work is in isolation of other colleagues. - work life balance is appalling (due in no small part to admin time issue highlighted above and number of days assessment time expected to be delivered per month)
