Pros
I had a great experience working at Outsource UK, surrounded by genuine and supportive people. While the situation that led to me leaving wasn’t ideal, it ultimately led to a positive career change.
Cons
I initially inherited an underperforming and inexperienced team, but after bringing in my own hires, performance improved significantly, and two of those team members are still with the business today.
However, over time, my entire team was gradually removed, but based on conversations with management I was going to be given an account of my own to develop.
This didn’t happen and transparency is an area where they could improve.
Within a few weeks this account was given to someone new without any discussion.
After this I found it challenging to work in an environment where commitments were not always followed through. I was excited about the opportunity and the growth it would bring. However, I was left feeling overlooked and undervalued.
This lack of transparency made it difficult to stay engaged, as it became clear that key decisions were being made without proper communication. It was frustrating to invest time and effort into a company that didn’t fully recognise or follow through its commitments.
Despite raising this issue with management the decision was made to stick with giving the new hire the account. Ultimately, this experience pushed me to reconsider my career path, and while it was disappointing at the time, it led me to pursue a new direction that I am now grateful for.
