Toxic working environment. Overworked, with extremely poor salary relative to my role. Based on salary ranges published on external job ads, there appeared to be significant inconsistencies in pay across comparable roles.
Hired to do one role but quickly ended up covering responsibilities that were intended for several roles. There was an expectation that staff would work to the point of burn-out with little recognition or appreciation. I experienced a culture where being talked down to or criticised in meetings in front of the team was normalised by certain senior people.
The working environment also felt siloed, with limited cross-team collaboration. Attempts to bring teams together for more collaborative working practices were often shut down. Conversations about pay reviews were repeatedly shut down or not considered worthy of response. Extra work was piled on to compensate for gaps elsewhere in the business where essential skills for the role were lacking.
Frequent redundancies throughout my time at Staysure left staff feeling uneasy and created an atmosphere where people seemed to feel pressure to compete with colleagues to protect their own jobs. Staff were constantly being asked to do more and more with very little positive feedback or recognition.
It’s difficult to write a critical review, but important that companies with poor culture are called out. Based on my experience, I would not recommend working here.
