Cons

Employees do not trust management or other colleagues, which leads to low morale and a sense of insecurity.

There is a lack of open and transparent communication, resulting in misunderstandings, rumors, and a general sense of confusion, mainly due to the secretive nature of the business.

Managers often exert excessive control over employees, stifling innovation and great ideas.

People I have spoken to often feel undervalued and unappreciated for their contributions.

There is toxic behavior among the legal team and how they treat individuals. Sometimes bullying is either tolerated or ignored to achieve a goal.

There is a culture of resistance to change, especially with new members of staff, where ideas are never listened to.

Advice to Management

Lead by example.

Encourage teamwork (it lacks).
