Control Risks reviews about "work life balance"

Really bad pay, no recognition of efforts

not competitive salary with slow growth

Run like a bit of a boys club with women visibly held to a higher standard than men, below market standard compensation, limited progression, limited investment in training

Lack of training for new employees

Only management team who gets the benefits

Does not have competitive salary/bonus and has no interest in changing. Keep saying “we have to cut costs, so no raises or bonuses this year” while showing strong margins.

It lacks rewards and recognition

The HR function is extremely unwelcoming to new joiners (unless joining at the top level). There is clearly an established clique of people who have been there years and they have no interest in getting to know/involving anyone newly incoming. People seem to be in roles due to their tenure with the company rather than based on competency. Pay packets are very low compared to market rates, benefits are awful and the company doesn't care about employee wellbeing. Toxic working culture with more junior members of the team being made feel like they have to stay past their working hours, even when their work is finished. No investment, systems are severely outdated which puts significant strain on employees trying to do work that a system could do in seconds. Management are completely incompetent, however, there is no investment into training. Very little discretion, people will take sensitive calls and have private discussions in the common HR area for everyone to hear. Employees outside HR are lovely.
