Fulfilling work, poor management - Anonymous employee Holy Trinity Brompton Employee Review

- one or two of the people are brilliant - some of the products and events are great - the healthcare benefits aren’t awful

- different opinions to management is seen as defiance - overworking and burnout is glorified - reducing budgets and stretching staff too thin seems to be the driving force - senior management are more than happy to throw junior members of staff under the bus to protect themselves - it’s all about who you know… - there’s no loyalty

Day to day staff genuinely believe in what they're doing and will work till they drop out of passion and loyalty.

The pros are exploited at every turn by cynical and uncaring senior management and leaders. Staff forced to facilitate dangerous requests of staff and volunteers during Covid. Being asked to work such extreme hours that even the higher wages of management level employees frequently fell below minimum wage. Spiritual exploitation was rife - refusing to work to burnout seen as a sign of not loving Jesus enough. Carpet bagging diversity as a buzz word and 'taking accountability' while ensuring senior management overwhelmingly remains white, middle/upper class, and male. Happy to accept gay/LGBT interns but not embrace LGBT people or marriage more widely. Upper managers telling senior leadership 'yes to everything' and dumping the work and stress of that onto low level employees to figure out. An environment that necessarily exploits volunteers because the majority of staff are also being exploited.
