Pros

- Met some great people who I can call friends. - I learned how *not* to be a manager. - Parking at the office.

Cons

- NOTHING is good enough. High expectations, 0 reward. - Low pay, rubbish holidays. - 30 minute lunchbreak - All benefits are bare minimum. - Managers haven't got a clue how to be a manager. No training, lots of favouritism. If this was a public service there would be lots of claims being made and the company wouldn't survive a day. - 'Values & Purpose' shoved down your throat and weaponised when you have a voice about something that you don't agree with. I've had some appalling comments made to me by management that would be considered bullying. Management certainly do not represent values. All a way of trying to control you to agree. - No diversity or inclusion. If you're remotely different you will be treated like you’re incapable of doing your job. - Lots of people in high positions getting paid lots with people at the bottom being paid peanuts and worked to the bone. Hierarchy is MASSIVE in Safehinge. - Not psychologically safe to have an opinion or speak up. You will be silently punished and told you aren’t representing the values… yawn. - Will hire you to do a job but then consistently undermine your work when they don’t have a clue about how things work (not sure why they bother employing people because they know best about your field of work). Be prepared to have no freedom and be on a task wheel of what the top want and how long it should take you. - Brainwashing values and purpose (I cannot stress how much this gives cult vibes, it’s terrifying how much they try and silence people with this). - All about 'protecting people through vulnerable times' and mental health etc which would be lovely if they cared about their own. They couldn't give a hoot about their staffs mental health. Reduced to tears, had anxiety attacks and pushed my mental health to its limit. They think a mindfulness session once a year means they look after staffs mental health. - Several people disappear overnight in my time there due to being pushed to limits and then we are lied to about what has happened to them. - CEO is rude and picks his favourites (usually the ones who write big lengthy LinkedIn posts about how amazing the company is - so a little tip there if you want to be a favourite). He will not even greet you in the office if he doesn't favourite you. - Promised courses and career development - it didn't happen. Managers don’t see your career development as a priority.. you are expected to be a working machine bringing in money all the time. Will always put business needs before you as a human being. - No room for promotion. - Micromanaged to the tenth degree. - Lots of passive aggressive behaviour. I’ve never felt so undervalued and stupid in a job in my entire life. - Whoever leaves the company then gets criticised for doing a terrible job in their time… so I shall expect the same since my departure. Honestly wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy.

Poor actions with good intentions

Pros

Hybrid working and flexibility Job with the intention of doing good Beautiful office The office is pleasant place to work, its light, airy and you are encouraged to build friendships within the work place. The business operates with the intention of doing good and compassion is considered within the design of its products.

Cons

High turnover Confused boundaries Poor leadership and decision making Bullying and discrimination The leadership are always on the hard sell with values and purpose based on compassion and emotional arguments, but often have to make business decision based on reactivity and capitalist realities. The hypocrisy leaves a bitter taste in the mouth, and mislead expectations leave large sways of the business defeatist or burnt out, especially when they've stretched they're boundaries to meet targets in the name of purpose. Bullying and discrimination is accepted within the business when individuals have influence within the sector or add strategic value. I have seen a lot of the business in a perpetual state of overwhelm, working over contracted hours to actualise sweeping/reactive/emotional decisions made by leadership, resulting in periods of sickness, unplanned termination of contracts, and unnecessary risk.
