They promote a really great culture such as work life balance, wellbeing, flexibility, transparency, participating in decision making etc. However the reality is that admin doesn't really beneficial from them - we are working with crazy workload whilst managers think we can handle more; we are operational staff so we need to cover the whole business hours, whilst managers can work at flexible hours; and we just receive orders which decided by managers, even though you want to raise something they only try to convince you that their decision is the best.
They provide learning opportunities but when you have crazy workload already, how can you have time and also need to deal with pressure from managers.
Contractual working hours is great, but again, with workload and the needs of covering business hours, we actually need to work longer than that, so work life balance is not achievable.
The only thing they are standing out is the benefit package, comparing to many other private jobs.

I joined as a temp and found that I enjoyed the work. It's a good place to work but I felt I didn't fit in with the team I was with and not many people spoke to me or acknowledged me. That made me question whether I could stick it out, especially as those people sat across from you. I lasted three weeks, including my week's notice. It didn't help that I had nothing in common with them as they were so much younger than me. If I found another job in there, I'd happily go to it but the team I was with wasn't for me.

Large layers of middle management bureaucracy that contribute little. Colleagues who abuse the system in relation to flexible working and sick leave. There is no training or progression and pay is poor in relation to the array of tasks undertaken in comparison to equivalent public and private sector roles. Lots of staff turnover forcing you to continually provide cover with no acknowledgment.

I have learned so much from this organisation! Very supportive, great training and working environment!
Management are generally well trained and most do look after their staff very well! Good flexi options, good pension, recent pay rise, carers register and employee assistance program. Sheriff Clerk at FSC is the best boss I have ever had!

Scts is a great organisation to work for. The people are all very supportive and helpful. There is a great team ethos to support each other. The pension plan for staff is outstanding. Great focus on health and wellbeing 

Fantastic place to work! Diverse, challenging, no day is ever the same. Brilliant, kind and enthusiastic staff, dedicated to their roles and performing outstanding work.

Good work life balance with use of flexible working hours. Office atmosphere is quite poor. The workloads are huge and unrealistic. Management aren’t very sympathetic towards staff 

Great company to work for. Regular support provided with day to day work. Lots of opportunities to further training. Friendly staff. Interesting job.
