Pros
• Nice hospice grounds. • Genuinely lovely volunteers & clinical staff who try their hardest for patients and often go above and beyond. • Good salary because people in Surrey are very generous.
Cons
• Wasting money on management upon management in unneeded jobs when the money could be better spent on patient care. • Toxic management in business side of things who are on power trips, who also want an easy life to keep their salary coming in so do nothing about casual racism, discrimination & bullying. • Pretend to be flexible, but really would prefer if you sat in the office 5 days a week (even if they don’t). • Old and outdated systems and ways of communicating with each other. • Management chumminess which felt like high school tactics to exclude other managers who they don’t like, • Genuine change scares management, people would much rather stick to the status quos and churn out the same outdated ideas. • Sometimes I witnessed such rudeness, unprofessionalism and cattiness behind colleagues backs but then management couldn’t deliver constructive criticism to their faces. You’ll be fine if it’s decided your face fits, and as long as you keep your head down, smile and don’t get ill (mentally or physically), have Dr appointments, get pregnant/take maternity or paternity leave & spend every last hour dedicating yourself to PAH without any thanks. • “People Services” aka HR are rude and unprofessional and so slow. • Education team are cold and unwelcoming.
