Micromanagement

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent benefits structure, learning opportunities and career development

Cons

There is a real toxic micromanagement culture which starts at the top and flows down. The CEO micromanages his Senior Leadership Team despite entrusting them in a high profile role. He wants to be in the detail of things which should not concern him creating huge strategic bottlenecks and SLT then feel disempowered and in turn have to micromanage downwards. This is inefficient and causes a really toxic culture.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear your experience isn't fully meeting expectations right now. While many colleagues tell us they value our culture and leadership - reflected in recent engagement scores - we know there’s always room to improve. Our leaders aim to stay close to the work because they care deeply about our members and teams, but we also want to empower colleagues with more ownership and flexibility. Your comments will help us keep moving in that direction.

Underpaid and pushed too hard

Recommend

Pros

Every day is different, given your own van.

Cons

Underpaid. Pushed so hard to meet KPIs that members often don’t get the correct service. Unsociable hours, constantly phoned by resourcing asking for more hours. Spend more of the day battling with the office to try and get the member the level of service they actually deserve.
