Pros
The important work FFT does, and the majority of its staff are incredible, and it has been an honour to work alongside this highly skilled and passionate team. It’s great to see the organisation becoming increasingly survivor led.
Cons
I have witnessed and experienced, intimidation and gas lighting often being used, particularly in recent years. Management can be hostile, aggressive and dismissive in their approach at times. Many talented staff are undervalued and experience undermined, there is overwhelmingly a lack of support from management. Workload is often unacceptable, when this is raised this as too much pressure by staff they have been reminded that they are disposable. It is almost impossible to take TOIL. COL increases and wages in general have been frozen for quite some time. Wellbeing activities offered are no more than a tick box exercise. There is a lack of opportunities for personal or career development.
