Pros

The cause is amazing and the vet staff do incredible work in often challenging conditions. Has the potential to be an amazing charity

Cons

Working here is CHAOTIC, it felt like a constant rollercoaster, with annual ‘restructures’ IE redundancies across all departments. Each new structure had a chance to bed in. The fundraising/marketing director role is a revolving door, no doubt to the volatility from long-standing members of SMT. There is no professional development whatsoever. Pay rises are impossible to obtain even after consistently over performing, your only reward will be having more work load from under performing colleagues stacked onto you. EDI isn’t existent, unless you’re white and middle class you’re going to have a tough time here having your voice heard. There is a culture of bullying which is not only allowed to go on but comes from the DG down. Pay below the market rate for roles, and will continue to scratch their head as to why so many people leave.

Pros

Even after careful reflection, i struggle to think of a pro

Cons

Bad directors, bad management, awful culture, some very senior people are completey toxic. HR runs the show and its causing people misery. Since leaving i've realised a lot of the behaviours are very very bad indeed and hurtful to peoples mental health. I wish the remaining employees well and hope they too escape.
