- 2.030 Sept 2022Facility ManagerCurrent Employee, less than 1 yearDublin, Dublin
Pros
Work Colleagues are very helpful and always ready to explain when learning the job. Everyone very friendly and welcoming. The company offers a ongoing training courses so you can constantly upskill throughout your time with the company.
Cons
There is a very high turn over of staff particularly with Facility Managers. There is extreme micro-managing within management which prevents you from being able to fully learn and gain managerial experience within the role. There are no staff incentives in place, staff on any grade level do not get Christmas bonus for example, which Ive never experienced working in any other company before. There is no pay increase scheme in place, many staff are with the company for several years without a pay increase and any request for same is mostly denied unless its fought for. Staff appraisals do not exist.
