Pros

Salary competitive , clean office environment. I believe staff at at Worcester and Banbury are generally reasonably happy. A lot depends on where you work.

Cons

Unsupportive management who subtly bully and are totally inflexible clearly enjoying themselves. Whole system that is frustrating because it is not fit for purpose. Trying to get anything slightly out of the ordinary done is extremely difficult as no one wants to help or take responsibility. If you work in Housing be prepared to have tenants constantly asking you how you can work for Sanctuary and complaining (with justification) about their level or service. However it is very hard to make any improvements on their behalf. Beware new employees- no sick pay for first two years (this is not made clear). No work flexibility, no working from home, constant changes without any clear or logical objective. Often changes are very costly and don’t work in practice. One of the mantras of this organisation is integrity but in reality there isn’t any!

Thank you for your review of your current employment with Sanctuary and I am sorry to hear some of your feedback. Sanctuary takes all staff concerns seriously and when staff do have concerns, we would encourage them to discuss them. Should these involve your direct line manager then we would encourage you to speak to an appropriate senior manager or local HR Business Partner in order for this to be looked into where necessary. We also have an established staff council, with local trained staff council representatives who are another avenue of support for staff. Sanctuary encourages staff to submit ideas to help improve the business and these are reviewed on a monthly basis. We would welcome you to submit any improvement ideas that you may have for consideration and have published examples of where ideas have been progressed which are published on our internal SOLIS pages. During all initial interviews any manager will happily answer any questions that are raised and will provide full and honest information regarding contracted terms and conditions, if this information is important to the interviewee, unfortunately we cannot discuss all terms and conditions within each interview but will never not answer questions that are asked. In addition we have a Flexible Working policy and all employees are able to apply. As a current employee we would encourage you to make contact with your local HR Business Partner to discuss your feedback in more detail.

Pros

It’s a dispensary but they at least have a semi work life balance and pay a little more than other dispensaries. It’s. It a terrible place to work as far as dispensaries go.

Cons

No true full time and also sometimes we were rushed with custimers and made mistakes bc of the rush
