Pros
With any large organisation, there’s such a broad variety of people, most of whom care deeply about doing the right thing. Great communities within small teams.
Cons
The last 3 or so Years (since Charlie Nunn has taken over) there’s been a steady decline in care for the colleagues or the values we were supposed to stand for. Being bold and challenging the status quo were replaced by doing what you were told, not speaking out and carrying on even if you know what’s being asked isn’t the right thing for the customer or business. The colleague benefits have been slowly eroded with the trend of bringing things back to just the statutory minimum and a culture of fear and backstabbing has permeated through the organisation. Policies are sneakily changed with the sole goal of allowing the organisation to reduce numbers with the minimum recompense to staff. More PIPs than ever are being handed out with increasingly little justification and those with the real skills in key areas are being driven out. Creating knowledge vacuums in important areas like data and technology. Colleague feeling is at a lower point than if experienced in more than 10 years!
