Pros
Shared trauma creates good friendships.
Cons
This organisation is constantly trying to prove to itself that it can do the job it purports to do, but fails in almost every way. Working here was a daily professional and personal slap in the face. As for work environment, you will observe adults behave like spoilt children after following the example set by senior management. Hard workers, late stayers and those with the most relevant sector experience will be bullied, exploited and demoralised, as they watch those in bed with the CEO promoted. I’ve never worked anywhere else with such a high turnover rate, or so many taking stress leave to recover from doing their office-based jobs. Do yourself a favour and work for a charity that cares about its employees, recognises effort, and applauds genuine passion for the cause. Steer clear of this soul destroying black hole in the animal welfare movement, where supporter donations go to die.
