Can make quality relationships with co-workers. Great benefits. Decent training/courses to take on-site. Fun company gatherings and events like Halloween competitions and Christmas parties. Work/life balance acknowledgement.

Poor management - unprofessional from some. Little advancement opportunities and low pay. When applying for positions in other departments, poor notification of next steps and final decisions from hiring managers.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. The feedback we receive through Glassdoor allows us to review our strengths and potential areas of opportunity. It’s encouraging to hear that you enjoyed the trainings made available to you through our Organization and Development team while at SAGE. It seems, however, that you think an opportunity for continued trainings is being missed. We do have a comprehensive program of learning workshops focused on management and will continue to look at ways to promote these sessions to offer consistent learning for individuals in a leadership role.

Poor Line Management clear favourite s within departments, if you fit the look you will go far otherwise you are expected to sit down and shut up. Line managers need serious training to much micro management and complaining no solutions.
