Pros
Some good, kind, intelligent colleagues but many are leaving
Cons
-Dangerously high caseloads -High levels of long term staff sickness due to stress -Very poor supervision, by far the worst I've ever experienced in over a decade in the field -Senior management seem to be unacquainted with employment law -Inadequate training/ supervision -CGL relies too much on the expertise and skills of staff that they inherit through TUPE and do not offer any real training/education of their own- this cannot go on indefinitely as the majority of skilled/experienced staff tend to leave -Harsh approach to service users but I guess this comes from the lack of training -Low quality treatment which comes at the cost of the service user -Obsessed with admin/ data collection in the belief that this somehow makes everything OK -Middle management may as well not exist
