Business outlook
Pros
The organisation has hired well over the last few years and recruited a younger crowd who are not afraid to take a fresh approach to how things are done. Steps have been taken to make it a more open and friendly and informal working culture. Rowing is a great sport with lots of passionate staff, volunteers and athletes. The London office has a nice location by the river!!
Cons
Not a great place to work if you want a 9 to 5, Monday to Friday easy life job. There is a high work ethic expected which is not to everyone’s tastes. There is often a disconnect and tension between some staff and ‘older’ senior volunteers:- staff want to get on and modernise the sport while some of the volunteers resist change as they fear the sport changing.
