Pros

Useful work experience, not much more I can say.

Cons

Poor, unprofessional management who don't know what they're doing, wrong information often relayed from different managers as nobody really knows what's going on and communication is non-existent, but nobody really cares. Bullying culture and management really don't care about employees, particularly disabled workforce. Made to feel like dancing monkeys and treated like children, with no respect and complete disregard to having your opinions valued or voice heard. Disabled workforce treated horrendously, particularly visually impaired staff. Minorities including disabled staff only employed to tick equal opportunities boxes, with little done to value or support them as employees, despite claiming this to be the case by having meetings and ticking more boxes. Turnaround of staff like a revolving door, with a clinical approach to disposing of staff when they are no longer wanted i.e if they dare speak up about any of these issues. That's if staff don't leave of their own accord due to work-related stress.

Pros

None. Cannot recommend to work here.

Cons

Too many to mention but all from top leadership down. Unless this changes, there's little hope for the Services that work hard to help people with vision loss. Glassdoor still has the previous CEO listed (Mark O'Donnell) but this is Craig Spalding for a number of years now.

Pros

There wasn't many pro's to working for Sight Scotland after the Exec Team changed.

Cons

The Exec team have absolutely ruined everything that Sight Scotland stood for, they have zero empathy for the service users and they 100% do not care about their staff who work tirelessly to provide a safe, nurturing, person centred service. The atmosphere at HO is toxic. The Exec Team love to pretend they care but they are the most toxic of all.
