Pros

Some of the staff are great. Really interesting service users. It's good to be out and about and the days pass quickly. Management are mostly friendly and approachable.

Cons

Management very much have each others back, often to the detriment of their respective teams. Pay isn't great. A lot of office politics.

Pros

Good team and the work is rewarding.

Cons

Bad management. Most managers are condescending and have little care about staff mental health. Colleagues were going off sick a lot and either wouldn't return or would be off for long periods of time and their caseload wouldn't be spread effectively by management. Morale was always low. Team accused of skiving just before Christmas from the comfort of the office while we were out in the wind and rain working. Manager kept tabs on where we were for almost every minute of the day and didn't understand what we were doing in the field. I could go on and on and on
