Pros
First of all, if you are a person who is looking to work for Purpose you will find a home in Common Purpose. the work that common Purpose does is incredibly powerful and important because it impacts individual lives and by doing so entire organisations and the wider society. It is pioneering the notion of leadership development in sectors that never considered this need before and that could definitely benefit from it. thinking outside the box is encouraged and all teams are different but the team I work in nurtures self-awareness, openness and flexibility, values the potential of each team member and adapts as much as possible responsibilities to the skills , competencies and even passions of each team member which is a sure way to ensure productivity and efficiency. you can voice your opinion, propose things , mention pathways that were maybe unexplored and be heard
Cons
"Money, money, money" - it is unfortunately a reality of the charitable sector. I enjoy my work and put a lot of effort into my work but am unfortunately always worrying about money, especially living in London ... The opportunities for growth exist but have a limit and even then I am not sure the salary would increase substantially. if I did not have to worry about money I would probably not consider ever leaving this organisation. Depending on how conscientious a worker you are or how passionate you are about the types of leaders/sector you work with, you may have trouble establishing boundaries and it might not always be recognised ( working overtime out of necessity due to workload is not compensated)
