Pros
- You’ll meet colleagues who genuinely care about Cardiff and are committed to supporting local businesses. - Some members of the wider team are hardworking and passionate about making a difference.
Cons
- Workplace culture is toxic, with clear favouritism influencing promotions and opportunities. - Senior leadership, particularly the CEO, fosters a negative atmosphere through bullying behaviours and exclusionary practices. - Contributions from non-favoured staff are frequently overlooked, while credit is shared broadly to dilute individual recognition. - Team meetings and socials are uncomfortable and can feel forced, often highlighting divisions rather than building morale. - Projects with genuine potential to benefit the city are frequently dismissed in favour of CEO-led initiatives that rarely progress beyond pilot stages, wasting time and resources. - High staff turnover due to bullying, lack of fair rewards, and poor management practices. - Feedback is encouraged in theory, but staff who raise concerns about leadership are often shut down or made to feel they are the problem. - HR processes and protocols are poorly handled and sometimes ignored altogether
