Pros

Opportunity to progress and implement new ideas/trials.

Cons

Pay structure - I would have been on more money if i stayed as an installer taking my cost of livings than working my way through two promotions Installer/TSE/area manager which is disheartening. We have the new pay matrix and though i'm confident my team is high performing and i implement ideas across the region - I feel this is overlooked and i'm not seriously being considered for a performance related pay increase even though i'm hitting all but one KPI and exceed behavioural & core expectations.

Pros

Some members of the company are the best people you’ll ever meet.

Cons

Genuinely a complete mess. Incompetent, passive aggressive leadership that repeatedly makes both poor and confusing company decisions. I have some absolutely crazy stories from things I’ve witnessed here. There’s things that are so bizarre and dysfunctional, they belong in an alternate reality.
