Pros

Friendly case workers that really care about people and work really hard and do some great work supporting victims.

Cons

Culture of bullying, undercurrents of nasty racism all coming from senior management, never I have I ever worked anywhere where there was this much disrespect. Also no structure to the organisation.

Business outlook

Pros

I worked at Victim Support for many years and found it to be at least a good place to get some basic interpersonal skills and experience. You learn to communicate in a professional manner. It is also rewarding helping victims of crime.

Cons

I would never work there again as throughout my time I witnessed bullying and harassment from management, to my fellow colleagues. They will use whatever means to act improperly, and can even use emotional blackmail. Even the HR department are disgraceful. Even when leaving the organisation they tried to stop me leaving under the contractual terms I agreed to. I had to use legal action to get them to let me leave according to the contract. There are not many promotion opportunities
