Avantages
Offers opportunities for graduates and early careers professionals to enter the security industry. A lot of responsibility and ownership is delegated to junior staff which would likely not be found in equivalent roles elsewhere. Middle management are genuinely trying their best to look out for their teams and improve their skillsets.
Inconvénients
Among the many challenges of working at Inkerman, perhaps the greatest is determining whether senior management's disdain for staff exceeds their incompetence. Ironically, there appears to be an inverse relationship between the length of time spent at the company and the amount of respect given by senior management, contributing to an impressively high turnover rate the likes of which I have never seen elsewhere. The constant need of senior management to assert their authority nearly always comes at the expense of business continuity, with department heads constantly struggling to navigate petty office politics and decipher vague or contradictory instructions just to achieve basic objectives. Staff are often expected to generate products at very short notice with little to no guidance. When these products inevitably fall short of senior management's expectation, few of which are communicated to staff in advance, the responsible team is quickly accused of incompetence. Employee wellbeing is treated as an afterthought if considered at all. Staff are viewed as expendable units, fit to be worked until breaking point before being unceremoniously discarded and replaced. Because of this, many employees juggle multiple roles simultaneously; an issue compounded by senior management's inability to hire new staff in a timely manner. Little wonder then that the company's atmosphere resembles that of a trench at the Somme: filled with anxious staffers soon to be marched by their inept commanders towards certain doom.
