I worked at Marie Curie full-time
Pros
Most colleagues are good people, with semi good intentions.
Cons
Very siloed working. Very poor documentation across all teams. Lack of communication even within departments. Very pool transparency. Some ground level staff get paid next to nothing, and yet management are still surprised when performance is poor and turnover is high. HR processes and communication is the worst I've ever experienced. Have not had a single good experience with a single member of the HR team.... Constant chasing up, HR completely ignoring emails and messages, regularly not showing up for scheduled meetings without warning, and often providing wrong information

Theres not much point as noone ever takes notice of these complaints on these sites, and things will go on as they are.

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.
