      Target Driven at Personal and Work Quality Cost

      Pros

      Amazing colleagues. And I'm fortunate to have a lovely line manager. Work flexibility, good workplace adjustments available.

      Cons

      Our targets have recently gone up as of autumn 2025. It's extremely difficult to meet them. We are now either called or asked on chats by managers more than once a day if we're on target (getting decisions out) and asked to give reasons if we're not. Training and support is, I believe, inadequate for such a massively complicated role which is largely self-taught after the first stages of training. Morale is very low now in our DM unit (and I hear it's the same in others) and so for the first time in my life I'm considering leaving a job due to stress! Shame because the work itself is very interesting.

      Drowning in admin tasks and underpaid.

      Pros

      The pension is good and 50% of what you do is interesting.

      Cons

      The other %50 of the job consists of an insane amount of administrative tasks and processes which you get no credit for and don't have time to get used to. All these admin tasks change almost on a weekly basis, and new forms and procedures are constantly added to your list of responsibilities, while your weekly targets and your salary stay the same. They'll always add more and more procedures. If you're good enough, they'll even give you extra responsibilities, again, without increasing your salary nor decreasing your weekly targets. Training provided and targets set are inadequate considering the standard of care required when dealing with such sensitive information.
