Pros

Free lunches, hot drinks, great employees and culture overall

Cons

Team managers are given too much power overall. I understand the fact that there is no HR to ‘empower’ staff to make more informed/ personal decisions but team leaders are given too much flexibility/power and some are on a major power trip. Difficult to bring issues up as it’s weird trying to discuss with your senior when they are the cause of the problem. The majority are fine but some, I have no words.

Hello, Thank you for leaving a review and giving us your honest feedback. I’m sorry to hear you feel you can’t challenge or discuss your feelings around not agreeing to some management decisions. I would love to explore this further and get some examples to be able to discuss this. Without these examples being shared, it’s really hard to be able to notice patterns across the site. It is one of the most important things to me within Leicester that members feel safe to share their opinions as I genuinely don’t believe we can be the best managers without this. Please could you reach out to me to discuss this further or attend one of the weekly drop in sessions Operations Managers hold with someone you feel comfortable discussing this further with? All feedback can be treated anonymously if you would feel more comfortable to discuss in this way, or there is also always our internal anonymous feedback platform at your disposal which we make a point of reading religiously! All the best, Fay Olner, Site Operations Manager
