Good money but insanely hard work

Pros

Money is good and the people i worked with on my level are great. The work can be quiet interesting. And banter can be good.

Cons

The current managements treatment of staff can be both very crass and sometimes underhanded. There is an culture of elitism in the department where i worked. This makes for a strained work environment. Money is good but you'll earn every single penny of it. It can be very relentless at times. Staff turnover is very high so that speaks for its self

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback here and in your exit interview. As promised, I shared your views with the senior management team and we will use it to reflect on how we can further develop our approach to employee engagement. As you know, Northgate Ireland has gone through a period of significant change in leadership over the last year and we’re aware that this can be unsettling for staff and add extra stress to the working environment, which we have tried hard to minimise. Whilst we never want to see great people leave the company, we also understand that people have to make the decisions that they feel are right for them and their career and take opportunities when they come. We are now in a time of positive change and have introduced a new leadership structure to help take Northgate Ireland forward. We hope that our existing staff are starting to feel some of the positive results of this already. We wish you well as you move on from the Northgate family and really do value the feedback you have shared. Jan Glynn - Head of HR, Ireland

No real career prospects/ opportunity to progress, no pay scale, no ongoing training ( as advertised to new potential employees ) , no structure, company policies blatantly disregard, and a clear double standards
