Pluspunten

Varied work and lots of it, you're not micromanaged, you receive ongoing training, fairly good management support, good personal development. The salary package is good if you are a live in Development Manager as you get a 2 bed apartment or house which bumps up your salary.

Minpunten

Restricted career growth. Although company encourages employees to grow their careers with the company it is extremely difficult to move from one area of the business into another. I have applied for a number of Development Manager roles in large & complex but have been rejected immediately without any explanation. Even though I have requested an explanation from HR none has been given. HR and senior management unfortunately hinder employees career growth. HR does not advertise all the company's vacancies on the intranet, instead they prefer to use recruitment agencies and to pay an agency fee to find new employees. Salary is not great if you do not get free accommodation as a Development Manager.

Pluspunten

Team work - customers - feeling like you are making a difference

Minpunten

No support , blame culture , looking to blames managers for Everything and no accountability further up the Business. PMs that won’t stay . Things that change constantly. Systems that are not updated with the correct forms or procedures and then managers blamed for getting it wrong. Getting screamed at by residents or families for things you can not control . Feeling untrusted by our own company . Ask you for help one week and throw you to the wolves the next . I’ve seen it all and now it’s at the worst it’s ever been , DMs are applying else where in droves and pms !! Development managers are customer facing we are the face of retirement but are treated like the lowest of the low of no value by the wonderful staff above pms . Investigations against colleagues when conversations co hi of of taking place instead . Such a blame culture
