Pros

Most employees (most of my experience is at Head Office) are good people who have interesting life stories. So generally colleagues are a pro. Worklife balance excellent: working part time is not frowned upon. Plenty of opportunities to work in other parts of the organisation as it is so large and varied.

Cons

You won't make your fortune working here. You have to count every penny (as you should do in a charity) so it's not for someone who likes an expense account or company car.

Hello, thank you for your comments. It's great to hear that interesting colleagues, opportunities to work across the organisation and Oxfam's commitment to work-life balance (often through part-time, flexible or job share arrangements) are 'pros' for you. Recruitment Team at Oxfam GB, Oxford.

Hello, thank you for your comments about working at Oxfam. We're pleased you've found working here life changing. It's great that you feel volunteers are helped out, but we hope to do this as well as supporting our network of Shop Managers, we're sorry to hear this might not be how you felt. We will take your feedback back to the shop support team. Thank you for the 5+ years you've committed to working with Oxfam. Recruitment Team, Oxfam GB, Oxford
