Pros
Some good work has been done in the community, supporting older people. The Services Team really care for the people the charity supports.
Cons
Charity does not know what it is - is it an overstaffed advocacy group or a charity to support people at the point of service delivery. Far too much money is spent on campaigning and advocacy with nothing to show, despite the laughable 'I did this' achievement blogs that are written. Influencing and Policy is the noisiest team in terms of need for self promotion, they (Heads of) have forgotten that they are are not employed to push self-interest projects and raise their own profiles, the focus has to be on the people the charity says it supports. If donors and supporters knew how much money was wasted, they'd swiftly find another organisation to support. Most ex-staff will agree you are completely shunned when you decided it is time to leave, no farewell card, no call from your manager, nothing. A request for an exit interview was declined. Left the org as no development opportunities, or chance for promotion/progression. There is a culture of bullying that has not been properly addressed.
