Gradist and No Interest in Professionalism or Career Progression - Administration Assistant Scottish Government Employee Review

Pros

Met some good friends there and got on with some people. Had a couple of bosses who were very nice and friendly. A lot of the subject matter is interesting, even if the work isn't.

Cons

Gradist - senior managers generally look at very junior members of staff with complete contempt. No training for members of staff, no interest in staff careers or development. Bullying by managers not held accountable. Temp workers - when I was there they hired loads of temps on minimum wage instead of hiring proper permanent staff, continuity and motivation on the floor as a result. Temps were barred from applying for jobs internally.
