Pros
Loved the team of volunteers I got to manage and work with. The job is very rewarding if you feel strongly about the cause and gives some good retail experience
Cons
Constant sales targets on new goods that are poor quality. Felt bad having to upsell tacky items.
- Former Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Good holiday allowance, great staff pet discount, great hard working team. PDSA teams are amazing!! A good place to retire if you have no other dreams to progress. A good busy workload. Trying their best to be diverse.
Cons
Staff are so reluctant to change for the better. Higher management only interested in their own agenda, disregard ideas and then take your ideas and palm them off as their own! It had sadly started to become a dictatorship which isn’t in line with the values they portray. It used to be a transparent place to work but that transparency turned into secretism and I found this untrustworthy. The moment I decided to leave was when my boss decided to tell me they were the best at their trade (when they were far from it)

Stressful when busy and short staff
