High drama, major politics and pathetic Kantar HRIS team directors/managers from hell!
Pros
Centrally located, facilities are alright and work-life balance is OK.
Cons
I worked in the HRIS support team and never have I come across such a negative team environment with an absolutely biased direct management, who are also very tight with money. For such a small team of about a dozen employees, staff turnover is incredibly high - 4 resignations in the space of 1 month! The team's immediate leadership is very poor (condescending micro-managers who treat you like little children in school!), and this filters down into a negative impact on the attitudes of the team members. The pay levels are shocking - while a couple of the managers are over-paid for not actually doing much work, the majority of the staff are on extremely low wages. This is one of the tightest departments, with zero investment in training or career development for their employees. Fragmented team, lots of conflicts, in-fighting, politics and unfair, biased managers who give preferential treatment to their mates. Again most of the problems comes down to the extremely poor and low quality leadership of this HRIS team. The overall company is currently going through a re-structure and there has already been a lot of redundancies and voluntary resignations. There also has been pay freezes, promotion freezes and recruitment freezes this year due to poor company performance.
