There is a consistently high staff turnover, which creates instability across teams. Progression is unclear and is promised rather than delivered. Career development opportunities are limited and pay is below market rate. There is little meaningful investment in training or development, making progression within the role difficult.
Work-life balance is poor. You are commonly expected to work beyond contracted hours without compensation or acknowledgement.
The “fast-paced environment” is normalised and treated as a measure of individual capability. Emphasis is placed on coping rather than questioning whether the pace is appropriate, which reinforces reactive and disorganised working as standard practice.
Senior leadership operate in a highly reactive way. Frequent last minute changes create unclear direction and unrealistic delivery expectations. This contributes directly to workload instability and pressure on teams.
