Pros
4 day full-time working week. Flexible hours, Beat are good at accommodating other commitments like studies or family. Flexibility of working from home. The people on frontline delivering services are very supportive to each other, genuinely care about Beat's cause and want to help beneficiaries.
Cons
Overworked and understaffed - poor work/life balance and unrealistic expectations set on staff. The execs have little involvement or understanding of what the people delivering services do. Managers in general don't take accountability for their actions or hold others accountable. Very poor communication between services/departments and massive organisational issues. Poorly thought out decisions by the execs, very little forward thinking. When things go wrong they balme others. Training and development opportunities and well-being support has dropped over the last two years. Many fixed term contracts and a feeling of being indispensable and not valued. Execs and senior managers don't take on board feedback. Very little consistency, constantly changing processes (links to above).
