Pros

amazing staff, great building and once upon a time a good organisation.

Cons

Horrific controlling CEO (paying himself £190k as shown in this years annual review on their website - hugely inflated compared to the previous CEO who was excellent) whilst not paying staff a fair wage and blocking any voice or dissent. The Chief Operating Officer seems to enjoy causing suffering to staff. The RSA should be reviewed but unfortunately the Trustees and Chair are naively ignoring all the red flags.

Pros

Many committed, talented, thoughtful colleagues. A unique organisation and fellowship with great heritage and potential.

Cons

Value, visibility, progression and recognition are not always fully aligned with high performance, competence and commitment, and can be influenced by internal politics, dynamics and agendas. There can also be some disconnect between the organisation’s stated culture and the day-to-day practice, where well-intentioned constructive and creative challenge is encouraged but then not always well received and even penalised. Trust and safety remain fragile as a result.
