Pros
Vital work. The chance to work on truly important issues for a household name organisation, steeped in history. Working alongside some very committed people, who are incredibly dedicated to their work.
Cons
The culture of particular teams at Head Office is entirely toxic. Staff are overworked and undervalued - some amazing people hired but tend to leave the on a revolving door basis within 0.5-1.5 years without looking back. Severe bullying and mistreatment exhibited by staff in positions of power (one member of senior leadership in particular) is shockingly routine, and passed down management chain - staff must learn to accept it or eventually leave the organisation. Many of us are still coming to terms with encountering this sort of workplace behaviour at a charity that claims to spread the #PowerOfKindness
