Pros

- you get to be involved with everything rather than be confined to one role - you get exposed to senior people and clients very early, it's a bit sink or swim but that's how you learn - you'll learn a lot more than just typical marketing - the variety of clients and work always keep you on your toes - some great people who I have stayed very close friends with despite moving away and working remotely for the last few years - it set me up for a really great career in different areas

Cons

- There was previously an expectation that everyone can and should do everything. It's great to have this opportunity but it's not easy for everyone

Pros

None that I can think of.

Cons

Working at StepChange Debt Charity is soul‑destroying. The role is relentless, taking call after call with no real break, leaving staff drained. Managers refuse to speak to customers when complaints arise, leaving frontline staff to take the brunt. Unrealistic KPIs and harsh call targets push people to breaking point, with many going off on long‑term sick due to stress. Staff turnover is extremely high, and morale is constantly low. If your face fits than great and if not then be prepared! While the charity’s purpose is admirable, the internal reality is damaging, unsustainable, and leaves employees feeling undervalued and expendable.
