Pros
Working for a sport you love, it’s filled with people who are passionate about what they do.
Cons
Having passionate people is a waste when British Cycling do not have high standards for productivity, professionalism or culture. British Cycling are good at saying they expect these things but their actions suggest something very different. When employees expect or display high standards they get no support or recognition and are made to feel they expect too much. Management staff are not organised enough to recognise or make changes that need to be made for the benefit of the organisation. Until British Cycling listen to employees and admit employees are not happy for very valid reasons, I’m afraid they will not be able to change to reach their potential.
