Negative Culture based on Rules and "who you know"! - Anonymous employee Sanctuary Employee Review

One of the worst places I've ever had the misfortune to end up working at! The wool was well and truly pulled over my eyes at interview here. Unfortunately, the negative bullying culture here stems from the top down. I found Group Directors were in post not because of their ability or experience, but simply because they were on a graduate scheme and someone higher up took a shine to them. Quite frightening really that these people were left in charge of running departments! If your face fits, you will have the pick of any job you want. If not, you may as well quit while your ahead. Head Office is run like a mausoleum. You quickly realise there is no point in breaking "the rules" as they watch you like a hawk. Swipe in and out of every door and only allowed 3 hot drinks a day! What is that all about? The Facilities team run the place like a concentration camp and it's a very negative environment to be in. They are happy to employ people for their skills and then completely ignore them, very frustrating! Sadly, an organisation that is very much stuck in the dark ages and will probably still be treating staff poorly and doing things the same way for many years to come until there is a change from the top down.
