      Toxic senior management style - Senior Sales Consultant CALA Group Employee Review

      Pros

      Quality homes, incredible construction teams and amazing communication at ground level between site and sales. I embodied the CALA pillars for as long as I could.

      Cons

      The SHC senior management style is delivered like a dictatorship where merit and ability is overlooked in favour of friendships. You are promised ongoing training to further progress your career which never materialises only to find promotions offered to those with less experience. There is a total lack of diversity due to insecure and a toxic leadership style. If your face doesn't fit or you dare to question, you are silenced or moved to sites that severely impact the ability to hit targets and earn commission. 2024 annual bonus was farcical - but be grateful!! - such a shame.

      Pros

      CALA is different place to work to the standard house building companies out there. There is a huge amount of pride taken in the quality of our product which is displayed via the staffs passion for working for CALA. The Work/Life Culture is great since Lockdown and a new smarter way of working has been fully embraced by the business. The five year plan is very positive and it is a very exciting time to be part of the business.

      Cons

      The cycle to work scheme could be improved upon, with sustainable and cost effective travel a big topic amongst staff currently. Most cycle to work schemes no longer have a cap and our one currently does not allow for electric or better quality bicycles to assist on longer journeys which would be hugely beneficial for the staff as there is not currently much available within the "cap" also using one company who only use a select couple of manufacturers (who also do not cater for the taller person).
