Pros

CEO and Fundraising Director are very good, its a brilliant cause, many staff are so dedicated to the cause and its been a friendly place to work.

Cons

Very poor understanding of how to effectively manage people through change so no buy in and support for big changes being made. This starts near the top with some old school command and control leadership (not the CEO who is highly respected) HR function needs modernising and brought up to date. Ego driven and bullying tactics used high up unfortunately

Thanks for your review. I’m pleased to read you felt a strong sense of commitment and dedication to the cause from colleagues across the organisation and that it is a friendly place to work, many others feel that way too. I am sorry to read that during your time working at Breast Cancer Now you felt as you did about some leadership styles. Across the organisation we work hard to build the best leadership and culture and to make us a great place to work. Your feedback helps us to do this. We do not tolerate bullying and if you would be prepared to share your experiences as to what went wrong in terms raising this and the other issues you mention I would be happy to listen. Director of Fundraising, Communications & Engagement
