Management awful

Cook (Former Employee) - Newport - 28 November 2023

The management do not have a clue what they are doing. Not a nice place to work. Felt completely undervalued when I worked so hard. Management were poor, did not help or support in any way. Manager was a very unpleasant man not interested at all in the well-being of the children only with meeting his targets.
