Work load and stats is not achievable and is unrealistic!

Pros

Making a difference to those that need genuine protection. The job has flexible working hours. Working with the public. Making effective decisions.

Cons

Despite employees leaving after being in the job for less than a year, nothing has been done to prevent this. The culture is to do a huge recruitment once numbers are really down, so every two years. Salary does not compensate for the time and work done, hugely underpaid.

bullying is rife and not addressed by Senior management

Pros

Opportunity to change roles (subject to who you know)

Cons

Some very poor managers who bully staff and make constant threats. Although things are in place to redress this, in truth it is not taken seriously. Middle managers are over ruled and bullied into making decisions they do not agree out of fear for their jobs.
