A-SAFE reviews

It's a bit of a late 80's timewarp this place! Passive aggressive culture - one or two people are allowed or feel they are entitled to make everyone around them miserable, upset & uncomfortable on a daily basis & management just ignore it. Weird atmosphere - no team spirit, morale or banter in large parts of company. Sexism & blatant misogyny - women are ignored, derided, dismissed or assessed solely on appearance rather than ability by some men (including senior management). I've witnessed deeply inappropriate and disturbing sexual comments/innuendos/insults and know a woman was verbally abused by men who are not pulled up for it because they are 'good at selling' product. Holidays only 20 days per year which is incredibly low plus you have to deduct the Xmas shut down out of them No enhanced sick pay, if you're off you have to wait until the statutory element kicks in Zero staff benefits apart from cycle to work and childcare vouchers

The team in which I worked, and one member in particular, were extremely unfriendly and unpleasant to work with - in over a decade in the working world, I have never felt less welcome anywhere as I did there (even when I lived in the South!). It was immediately obvious from the moment I walked in that my face didn't fit, for whatever reason. The management and HR did absolutely nothing when I raised concerns that my colleague's behaviour had escalated to bullying/harassment, as defined by the terms of the company's own handbook. Rather, they decided to let me go, citing fabricated "performance issues" - when in fact, my manager had been nothing but positive about my work and progress, in spite of the atmosphere in my office. Absolutely appalling and disgraceful conduct.
