Pros

Good pay Good benefits for a charity Generous annual leave Understanding employer willing to make adaptations No two days are the same

Cons

Large workload, more recently there has been a push to hit numerical targets over care for clients. Although my role has been safe from redundancy, the RNIB has made significant cuts to employment, including blind and visually impaired employees. They’ve also cut services that blind and VI people need, presumably because they don’t benefit the RNIB financially.

Pros

Meaningful mission and purpose-driven work: Many staff are genuinely committed to supporting people with sight loss, creating a strong sense of purpose and impact. Supportive culture among long-standing employees: Colleagues who have been with the charity for years bring expertise, passion, and strong teamwork. Good benefits package: Benefits are competitive and generally well-received, though not always clearly communicated or promoted. Fair pay: Compensation is reasonable for the sector and role types.

Cons

Recent leadership changes have shifted priorities: New senior leaders appear more focused on financial outcomes and organisational performance than employee wellbeing or values, which can feel demotivating. People feel undervalued: Employees can feel treated more like resources than individuals, with less emphasis on recognition, trust, and empathy. Reduced focus on personal and professional development: Opportunities for growth and progression seem to have declined, with less investment in development. Emergence of cliques and favouritism: Some colleagues hired from leaders’ previous organisations appear to be prioritised over long-standing employees, creating division and morale issues. Disconnect between senior leadership and wider staff population: Employees who have contributed significantly over time may feel overlooked despite their expertise and commitment to the strategy and mission.
