Hierarchical, defensive, toxic - Trusts Officer Versus Arthritis Employee Review

Pros

Great flex working policy, lovely London office, decent salary

Cons

When I was considering joining VA, it was the focus on staff wellbeing that really attracted me. I am now leaving the charity just over a year later having experienced the worst mental health of my life. This is a direct consequence of the pervasive culture of bullying and racism within the charity, where the very worst behaviours are perpetuated and enabled by senior staff. In its current state, I do not consider this a safe place to work.
