Pros
- Great brand - Financially stable - Battersea has a lot of money - Location - close to the park and Battersea Power Station - Like-minded people - Very supportive colleagues and managers
Cons
- So many basics aren't done well for example we have no vehicles to transport animals with aircon so as soon as it gets hot out everything stops. Why something so simple hasn't been fixed after years of it being a problem is incredible, especially given our very strong financial position - Overworked. Most days I don't get a lunch break or if I do take one I feel bad about it. But then I read on our intranet how much Battersea supports work-life balance. It doesn't add up. - Massively short-staffed in my department. We just don't have enough people to support our workload. - The team is wonderful and the job could be too if the higher ups would make the conditions better - The higher ups seem to have forgotten our core cause which is to look after dogs and cats. Battersea seems determined to go global and the focus seems to now be on helping dogs and cats overseas when we still have so much work to do at home.
