Good work life balance; but no commercial drive

Pros

- Good work-life balance. 9-5 Monday to Friday. - Flexible working hours but this depends entirely on the relationship with your manager

Cons

- Very little commercial drive from lower to mid ranking employees. - Many long-serving staff taking sick days as extra holidays. I didn't think this could happen until I worked at Sanctuary. - Management free to do pretty much anything they want to you without proper investigations. - Real innovation is not recognised. - Staff are very much 'set in their ways'. - Ugly brand

It’s very important for employees to have a healthy work-life balance, and we’re glad you had one during your time with us. It’s also important for our staff to have drive in their roles, so we’ll be taking your other comments on board. Thanks for the review.

Pros

I left. What more can I say....!!

Cons

Bad management. The dept I worked for only 2 of the original 25are left and that was within 12 months Too many cooks....... Got everyones pay wrong. People have to work a month in advance so you don't get paid for 2 months. Never mentioned at interview Far too much gossip and back stabbing I'm amazed its a charity and its survived
