Stuck in the dark ages - Anonymous employee Cross Keys Homes Employee Review

Pension contributions and holiday entitlement

CEO and some directors are robustly blinkered Fit in with ideas, policies no matter how misguided or be reprimanded or pushed out If directors want you gone…….you’ll go! Great teams shattered and demoralised Zero employee confidence in ability to challenge senior management

The role itself is important and can feel meaningful.

1. Strong in-group culture dominated by long-standing staff. 2. New starters treated differently if they do not “fit in.” 3. Inconsistent standards around behaviour and communication. 4. Poor psychological safety; raising concerns does not feel safe. 5. Feedback processes presented as confidential do not feel confidential in practice. 6. Management style felt defensive and resistant to challenge. 7. Shift patterns are extremely difficult, with no consistency and frequent single days off. 8. Management has confirmed that shift patterns will not change or improve. 9. Culture felt insular, intimidating, and emotionally draining over time. 10. Culture created stress and anxiety rather than support.
