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).

Pros

Takes staff well being very seriously, brilliant approach to flexible working arrangements, remote working and mandatory 4 day working week with flexibility to change up if required. Promotes independence and respect and really tries to minimise micromanaging which is such a breath of fresh air from other places I’ve worked. One of the only places I feel really portray the values they state to have. Absolutely love this company and all they stand for

Cons

Due to being in the charity sector, pay is lower than national average for various roles. This is out of their hands as they rely on contracts and funding and have recently awarded pay rises to try and match national pay increases.
