Pros

Grunt work staff are kind and committed. Client facing staff are dedicated to working closely with people with low vision and blindness despite conditions.

Cons

Poor senior leadership with an HR department that seems to hate the fact they have employees. Abysmal pay and conditions with a old school culture of unpaid work expectations and forceful hierarchy. No career progression or opportunity for new skill professional development.

Pros

Having dogs as colleagues is great.

Cons

Disgusting behaviour of senior management. They make it seem like they're doing you a favour with bare minimum entitlements. HR does not exist to support staff; it exists to protect bad leadership. Leadership is entirely comfortable hiring senior HR figures with prior, massive legal penalties for unfair dismissal and employee mistreatment. Also, for an organisation that receives so many donations from the public, the actual output and level of assistance provided to clients is shockingly minimal compared to the funding they pull in.
