Pros
Search for Compton Care reviews too. Same company. * I'd be lost without the supportive few I have here (fortunate that my team are angels). * Lovely grounds and on site cafe. * Good pay (but again not worth your mental health).
Cons
I had high hopes for my time here but I quickly became aware of the issues. Theypay packet is not worth your mental health, in fact many office based staff at all different levels are prioritising their mental health and resigning with no other job lined up. I've really struggled with my time here and I've raised issues with management and even HR but there has been no improvements. It's such a shame because Compton Care are such a fantastic charity for local people who are suffering with terminal illness but my experience from the inside has really put me off. Issues: * Lower level staff and Mid-level managers have to battle with Directors who have outdated views. Not a forward thinking place at all. * Slowest HR with insanely outdated views. I've never experienced anything like it anywhere before. * Apparently a hybrid role with agile working policy in place but I'm in the office pretty much 5 days a week and working way past 5:30pm. If you have kids, you'll be favoured for flexibility, which isn't fair. * No real wellbeing support or practices. No cultural diversity. Lots of ticking the box activity. * Toxic culture, a lot of office politics amongst some teams. Can get very catty. * Overworked and underappreciated. * A hierarchy exists here and its horrible to experience. * Ridiculous deadlines. Full day tasks that need a lot of background work expected to be done in a few mins with little information. There's a lot of talk from the top about positive change and becoming more "with the times" but little evidence of that actually happening. It's been a soul destroying experience.
