Sovereign Network Group (SNG) Reviews

Based on my experience and opinion: 1. Working for this organisation has made me fearful of working in a similar environment and organisation again. 2. It is a lonely place to work, cold and uncaring. 3. Uninspiring and nothing to help you thrive. 4. Incompetent managers with biases, lacking expertise, who stalk your every move and gaslight you. There is a lack of transparency. 5. This organisation does not have your best interest at heart. 6. Wasting resources, outdated processes, and procedures must be followed without question; they are not open to new ideas or suggestions (they are set in their ways). There’s a demand for unquestioning loyalty to leaders and the organisation. Dissent or diverse perspectives are discouraged and punished. 7. Thousands of employees complain about the culture. 8. Lying and concealing information, including not complying with the law. I have seen it and will be looked into externally. Dealing with this has been very challenging emotionally; if I could avoid it, I would never again work for this organisation or anyone linked to it. 9. Have been passed over to many people with less experience and knowledge but better job titles. 10. Leading and managing with bias, discrimination, destroying inclusion and fairness. 11. Disconnect with company values. 12. You become a scapegoat when you try to find solutions to problems and resolve mistakes made by others. You will be prevented from introducing creative or different solutions; if you do, it will be treated as a performance issue. 13. Favouritism and Work Cliques. 14. There’s a lot of gossip. Believe it or not, everyone knows about you. 15. If you're different, you can only work here if you have contacts who work here, are part of the crowd, or are good at dealing with complicated workplace politics. 16. Management expects perfection on low pay, poor structure, and no induction, training or education in a toxic working environment. Do you know that law firms cannot expect perfection with a remuneration of £100k! Why do you?! 17. No progression. 18. Setting unrealistic expectations so most colleagues work well beyond office hours. They will work you to the ground. This organisation will not love you back for your hard work and dedication. 19. Micromanaging is standard practice here, preventing growth. 20. Many people in the organisation are out for themselves. They will throw you under the bus, and it's too late when you find out. 21. No one is asking questions or challenging poor behaviour. 22. Genuine empathy and compassion for those with medical and mental health issues are lacking. 23. Passive-aggressive bullying and behaviours which is mentally taxing. 24. Poor human resource management, lack of fundamental understanding of employment law rights, policies and good practice, and HR supporting individuals who are a real liability to the organisation. *** If you have to, get a membership with a trade union before joining the organisation***

Currently very unstable due to savage and brutal restructure. Cyclical in housing but this one feels change for change sake and lots of people pleasing. Exec board are so far removed from the reality of front line housing management it is mind boggling. The decision makers say they're listening but they're not. Work loads are so unmanageable and unsustainable and despite a year telling them the risks and that we're not coping nothing changes . They have refused to provide additional staffing to help with the unrealistic workloads. Managing risk and safeguarding is like juggling plates and our service standards are impossible to meet then we get hen pecked for poor customer satisfaction results. It's chaotic with far too many systems that dont talk to each other. Sovereign has grown in to such a big beast it's imploding on itself. This means chronic and frustrating inconsistencies at management level and across regions and noone seems to care. Morale has never been lower and lack of trust with the execs has never been higher.
