Best thing
Flexi-time (if you log it correctly, some people got into arguments about whether they did this), some hybrid working
Worst thing
The culture was repulsive. Mixed signals from mangers, ableism, nepotism. As with anything, those you hear from are miserable in their jobs and rather than do something about it they just roam around trying to make everyone else miserable.

Best thing
My colleagues are amazing and my manager respects me and does not micromanage. There are lots of opportunities to try different things and get involved on projects.
Worst thing
Unfortunately, the rest of the Council. We are often weighed down compensating for lack of IT literacy, and many customers often complain that we cannot meet their demands even though we are often under strict budgetary constraints. The phones get unnecessarily busy due to issues that we are not trained to resolve.

Worst thing
Low paid.
No job progression.
Short staffed so having to stretch ourselves thin, having to deal with customer complaints because not able to offer the best service as we are short staffed.
Lack of training and development opportunities
No infrastructure to be allowed to work from home (as classed as a ‘manual worker’ on some days, even though ‘office workers’ can work from home when, even when they are sick.
Repetitive and boring work, not able to do everything that the job description says is part of our role.Visitor assistant at Leeds City Council, February 2024
