Pros

For some time it had a good social life culture which inspired staff to stay and work hard. That isn't there as much anymore. Some lovely people.

Cons

It's chaos. It takes an age for any decision to be made. There is very little accountability and a big fear of change despite a lot of rhetoric and money spent/wasted trying to make much needed changes by some. Not a good place for a fundraiser as it isn't valued within the org so you are made to feel like a nuisance by the rest of the org.

Thanks very much for your feedback. We're glad to hear your thoughts on the flexible and positive working environment at VSO as well as our remuneration. We are sorry to hear your feedback on the schedule, heavy in meetings and minimal support from supervisors. We are committed to a leadership style that enables our staff and volunteers to do their best work and feel supported. We also work through a distributed leadership approach to give people decision-making power, accountability and learning and development opportunities in a less structured, conventional way.
