Pros

Wonderful people to work with. You can see how much good work and charity they do. Seeing volunteers come into the office in there droves to help. Lovely staff members in the Cardiff office, good pay, excellent pension

Cons

They would have a restructure every year, a waste of money and the resources expended on these could have been put to better use.

Hi, Thank you very much for your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you were part of a great team and that you could experience first hand all the great job RNIB does to help improve lives of blind and partially sighted people. We appreciate that we’ve been though a lot of changes in the last couple of years. However, this has allowed RNIB to be a more up to date, approachable and effective charity. We’re making a better use of our resources and continue to do help as many people as we can. Please do not hesitate to contact us at HRadministration.mailbox@rnib.org.uk if you’d like to share with us more about your experience.

Complete sham of an organisation

Pros

Passionate staff from middle management down, great volunteers.

Cons

No accountability for failings within HR or at leadership level. Underhanded processes to control truths. Directors spending hundreds of thousands on useless tech, because a family member owns the company. Boys Club mentality.

Worst charity I've worked at.

Pros

On the ground employees are dedicated and work very hard. Unfortunately this not respected by management, particularly at the London Head office, who believe they are the only ones that keep the charity running.

Cons

Everything! Awful atmosphere in head office...managers who are so disengaged from their employees that they lock themselves away in their ivory offices every day. If only the donors for this charity knew directors use their donations to book taxis around London when they could get the tube and first class train tickets when they could go standard! The management have been lifted so high they can do nothing wrong and believe their own hype. Sadly this will be the charities downfall.

Thank you for your review. It’s positive to see you mention our dedicated staff and their work ethic. We’ve recently adopted new open plan offices in London as part of our property plan to build better relationships between all colleagues and make the most of the space we have. We’ve also introduce new communication channels to enable senior leaders to connect with colleagues on a more regular basis making the most of new technologies. We’ll take on board your points, thanks again for sharing.
