Micromanagement. NO development and progression.
Pros
Travel: MK Quadrant office is located in an ideal location, close to MK Central station. Office: Is very spacious and aesthetically pleasing.
Cons
Micromanagement: The level of micromanaging that has been implemented makes us feel like we have no breathing space. It becomes ironic when they talk about "employee wellbeing" and thus our day to day role is unnecessarily challenging. Line Managers will keep tabs on when we arrive/ leave (this has never been a thing previously) and it feels highly derogatory. No pay rises: Employees have not received a single pay rise in over a couple of years. The excuses given relating to COVID-19 has not stopped senior people receiving competitive bonuses. Moreover, similar Data Technician roles are offered elsewhere with far greater pay. Little career progression: This department, Asset Information Services (AIS), doesn't encourage any networking with other internal departments. No training programmes are offered yet we are still told to complete "performance reviews". We are left with false promises and false hope! Secondment roles: The company offered various secondment positions that are appealing. Yet we have been STRICTLY informed that this role (and AIS department) will not allow employees to take up any positions. Employees are left feeling stagnated and indeed frustrated.
