Pros

The money was ok. Fair holidays.

Cons

Discussed at interview flexible working only to join and be told there was no flexible working, you set your hours and must be sat at your desk between these hours even if you arrive early or have commitments on other dates. No fridges, no microwaves and no kettles so basically forced to buy lunch from outside. No talking, no headphones are allowed to be listened to. No working from home, and oddest of all the technology is about 10 years behind, no laptops which is very odd and such a waste of time. Joined and was not introduced to any of HR and didn't have a clue who my HR rep was the full 2 weeks of employment. If you are thinking of moving from a company that treats you like a human being then I wouldn't bother, you will only spend your evenings crying to your partner about what an awful day you have had!

Thank you for taking the time to review your two weeks with Sanctuary. We’re sorry to hear your experience wasn't a positive one. Our Flexible Working policy and procedure provides all staff with the option to request working hours to balance work and home commitments. There are sites within the Group that do not have kitchen facilities. This is the case at our Worcester office however there is an on-site restaurant and it’s only a short walk into town. The provision of a laptop or home working are available depending on the role undertaken within the organisation. We have a dedicated HR team across the country and all details are available on Solis and contained within our staff induction programme. We also have a national network of peer elected Staff Council reps to support and signpost staff. If you would like to discuss further details of your concerns, we’d be pleased to speak to you, and you can email resourcing.team@sanctuary-housing.co.uk.

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
