Gardener in East lothian
on 12 July 2023
Meh
Mostly decent colleagues, management get worse the higher up you go. Very frustrating some times but not hard pushed. A lot of deadwood needing removed, which slowly but surely is happening.

Very supportive management
A lot of room to progress, managers do offer alot of advice. Staff team were all very welcoming. Staff get a proper handover and the communication is spot on.

Bad Management
There is a culture where the management band together to manipulate the situation and purposefully make workers life’s difficult. They don’t like anyone or anything that upsets the status quo.It’s a whole if your face fits situation. If you will cover for them and spy on your coworkers you’ll get on fine if not they will try and force you out the door

Overall a good organisation to work for.
Good organisation to work for. Can be very busy, but most colleagues are great and supportive. Holidays, pension etc. all fair. Not a lot of opportunity for progression.
