Pros

Canteen is great, nice walk near by.

Cons

This place is the worst. HR still gossip about you when you leave. Even on physical appearance and what you wear. They don’t like employees who stand out. IT leader is a disaster lacks any people skills. Favorite lines why is this not done yet? Why can this not be done?Supports no staff at all. A total task master. Does not recognise staff achievements. Shouts at staff and has heated arguments weekly. Multiple hr grievances raised and nothing is done. They run on legacy systems that are not even supported. Back ward attitudes to new technology. Rely a lot on contract work as they can get the staff in as word is out now IT is a disaster. Since the last IT director and ServiceDesk manger left it has got worse and worse.

Pros

The new owners Bamford’s are really trying to make the culture different, open communication, investment, honesty to build trust

Cons

Some of the previous employees bring their old attitudes and negative opinions. They have a sense of entitlement that can impact the new culture. Some managers are struggling to change their way of thinking after the previous autocratic owners and use their brain.

Pros

4 day week is nice

Cons

Place is falling down around them, missing parts, wrong specs for the bus. General lack of organisation and a bullying culture from most of the management. Senior management trying to implement 5s and gemba( and badly at that) need to actually talk to their staff rather than doing what they want
