Oxfam Reviews

if you are a shop manager then you will be expected to work over and above your paid hours - you also have problems trying to get your holiday entitlement as you have to rely on volunteers to be in charge while youre away and do everything you normally do terrible pay for the enormous workloads and exhaustion is commonplace - oh yes the younger staff working at head office are in a bubble of middle class 'niceness' and need to get out to see how the shops really make the money that pay their wages

I have a "control freak" for an Area Manager. The person is paranoid and wants to control everybody and everything within reach. Thinks there are ulterior motives for everything.There is little support for problems at your shop . Ridiculous targets were set for this financial year and it is very demotivating seeing all you and your team's hard work going down the toilet . The Area manager has single handedly wrecked our Area's contributions to Oxfam's work by the rapid turnover in Shop Managers in our area. Lots of good people have left over the past few years. It is heartbreaking. Several Shop Managers have informed HR but nothing obvious has been done. The Area manager is a bully and this should not be tolerated and also tells lies. I also work too much and it is now expected.
