UK Government - Forestry Commission Careers and Employment

I have incredible experience at work, excellent management & workplace culture. Very helpful colleagues. To adjust with different culture people was quite difficult initially, afterwards, It was fun to know people globally.

Don’t do it

Really poor pay, poor pension scheme, diabolical management, discrimination is rife. Good hours good holidays but still not a good job as pay is soo far bellow industry standard

Poor management and underfunded

The majority of people were very friendly and good to work with, very understaffed and lack of money puts a lot of stress onto head of departments, poor wages compared to private company's.

Lovely People - Not so much the actual work

The people and the Forestry Commission make the organisation. Lovely people to work with, however the job itself is not really what I am about. Admin work is part of my daily tasks, however I do miss interacting with the public and customer service.

Overall not a bad place to work

Working with like-minded people. Happy environment and nice surrounding environment in the middle of Alice Holt Forest. Subsidiary discounts. A little underpaid for work carried out.
