I worked at Marie Curie part-time for more than a year
Pros
There are a lot of different skills to learn at these retail outlets, this is one of the few charity stores that I have known to have structured methods which are used in all shops. Often staff can carry out a variety of jobs in the stockroom and on the shop floor so plenty of variety in an average day. Great for learning about retail from a more professional business.
Cons
Can be overwhelmed if there are not enough volunteers to help.
Advice to Management
Keep using professional methods, it gives each shop a high street feel rather than other charity stores than can be like a jumble sale or car boot event.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Marie Curie full-time for less than a year
Pros
A wonderful cause with enthusiastic volunteers and supporters.
Cons
Very high staff turnover, no induction into the charity, and inadequate training seriously limited the scope of the work we could do. Managers were equally affected by these problems but did not speak out to more senior colleagues, which meant that the problems only worsened.
Advice to Management
The staff on the front line are dedicated and can offer insight into what works and what does not; please listen to them.
Marie Curie2019-07-26"Bullying Senior Management"
StarStarStarStarStarDoesn't RecommendI worked at Marie Curie full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Met lots of different people. Had some fun times
Cons
They demand so much with very little support. Staff not valued or thanked for hard work. Controlling Management.
Advice to Management
Value your staff and stop the high turn over. Deal with bullying in the work place.
