The National Trust Reviews

Pros

Cons

Too much emphasis on small projects

Pros

- Beautiful places, both indoors and out - Friendly people - Good aims

Cons

Bureaucratic Beholden to identity politics If your face doesn’t fit you won’t progress Poor pay

Pros

Passion for the mission Authentic leadership Genuine people focus Consistent focus on doing the right thing

Cons

If money is a prime motivator probably not for you.

Pros

The people are lovely and everyone works as a team to create the best environment for visitors. It’s great to work for a company with such strong beliefs and appreciation for our places and people. Usually the commute is great, the places are beautiful and the job is pretty chilled with great hours and benefits.

Cons

The pay isn’t great, but I guess that’s the decision to work for a charity! Also find that if you’re at the bottom of the pack you don’t often get your views heard.

Pros

NT staff are generally really nice, working in beautiful places is a joy and there is a feeling of satisfaction supporting a good organisation.

Cons

Pay for most staff is poor, the bureaucracy is frustrating and systems and processes are constantly changing. There is little scope for progression from operations into the better paid roles.
