Pros

Get to meet interesting people, friendly team at HO. Would always honour overtime worked and repay you with time, would also verbally recognise hard work in an email/meeting. Senior managers friendly and approachable. HO is good if you want a steady job to pay the bills rather than somewhere to progress.

Cons

Seems like roles and responsibilities need refining with salaries matched. A few people on the same role with the same responsibilities receiving different salaries which did not reflect experience. No space to progress or grow into another role, especially with it being such a small team and not for profit.

Pros

Accommodation provided, advertised as part time.

Cons

Managers expected to do admin work, basic maintenance all gardening work. Told that contractors are used for heavy gardening replanting etc but then told no money to pay external contractors. 24 hours on call duty so hardly part time and when on duty can’t go anywhere more than ten minutes away. Residents are told all they own is a piece of paper their house isn’t their own to enjoy and when managers fail to maintain the site residents are charged twice for all repairs. Don’t think the contracts are even legal for working hours that we do. Top managers fleecing residents and working Estate Managers into the ground. High turnover of staff.
