Cons

Small work force. Very toxic work place the last few years. I suffered bullying and harassment and broke my heart to resign.

We strive hard to make our charity a good place for our volunteers and employees. We were saddened to read your thoughts about the culture at Cats Protection. We encourage open and honest discussion and invite feedback directly to senior management or via our HR team so do please use those avenues in order to take any of your comments forward.

Chaotic senior leadership Constant restructures Top heavy and hierarchical leadership Constant changes in policy and procedures and appalling internal communications Projects which start without being thought through or planned adequately and never complete and fail miserably Lack of accountability of senior leaders Poor volunteer journey and support

Don't do it

Pros

you meet some lovely committed volunteers

Cons

there can never be enough volunteers. The upper levels of management are abysmal. It's impossible to do the job required in a normal working week, and they're continually moving the goal posts to ask for more.
