Pros
Good location and the holidays are good
Cons
I don’t know where to start- an extremely toxic culture, hierarchical, antiquated, bullying is rife and the turnover of staff is breathtaking. Staff are not appreciated, treated well or valued- senior management micro manage their teams, look at people’s calendars, have access to emails, threaten with extending probationary periods and on many occasions, have yelled at colleagues. Constant negativity, gossiping, blaming and unsupportive behaviour see staff members reduced to tears and many are off with work related stress or leave with no jobs to go to. It is a regular occurrence for people to go into meetings with Directors and senior management and to leave immediately- they are forced out. Not at all what I was expecting from a children’s charity- children do not come first here, senior and executive leadership teams do. This is not a kind, respectful organisation- it’s disorganised, chaotic and run by people who’ve been there for so long that they behave in a way which would not be acceptable or tolerated in other workplaces.
