Anchor reviews

Make absurd recruitment decisions for senior management roles, allow said managers to discriminate against women for having children, allow them to make people redundant for having children... oh but then getting rid of said manager shortly after instead of reversing or halting redundancy decision. Pension is good while you're in it, but when you leave you're lucky if you get any information about your pension (5 months of chasing), and when you ask them to send you your P60 they tell you to use their unfriendly HR self-service system which you have no access to because you don't work there. Making a simple request difficult for no apparent reason.

If you have a disability and need reasonable adjustments - don't apply. There is a lack of support from HR on reasonable adjustments, and despite certain policies stating you can request a reasonable adjustment to anyone at any time which does not need to be in writing, you won't be listened to. IT will block reasonable requests for software and expect you to explain your disability in full to them and will still deny the request. HR will require you to take occupational health assessments despite you already telling them what you need to be successful. Your occupational health assessment will be detailed in how your disability affects you at work and despite it being your personal, private data, it will not be shared with you and will instead be looked at by your line manager and HR. Upon feeding this back to HR teams they will not listen and improve, or even implement an adjustments policy. In the last few years, it's become increasingly apparent who the HR team serve, despite ironically renaming themselves the people team.
