Too many layers of hierarchy have the real workers running in circles - Portfolio Analyst Kingfisher Employee Review

Too many layers of hierarchy means that you have to wade through treacle to get approvals and decisions which are then filtered back down to those that need the output far too slowly and inconsistently. Benefits are by opco and location rather than being centralised and fairly distributed for all Kingfisher colleagues, meaning that sometimes co-located opcos get different benefits to other colleagues in the same building which leads to resentment towards the company.
