Best avoid unless a change in management - Anonymous employee Lumos Foundation Employee Review

-below average pay, pay rise on inflation level, small bonus - huge discrepancy between pay for average employee and senior management (CEO ears more than CEO of Oxfam and Unicef) -bullying which comes from Senior management, know of at least 3 long-term employees who have been bullied and left -CEO and other senior directors work very hierarchical and removed from staff members, CEO used to speak to staff members and know their names, not anymore -overall CEO has too much power and can change strategy on a whim, does not get held accountable by board -little involvement from Founder who clearly doesn't know what's going on (maybe doesn't care?) -no training, no opportunities to progress - organization prefers to spend money on expensive consultants with little or no results or hire senior staff without opportunities for staff members to be promoted -only staff members who progress are working closely with CEO and get senior roles without open recruitment process -little care for staff wellbeing, staff even have to pay for their own Christmas dinner -weak HR team who don't stand up to senior staff, high turnover in HR team so issues conveniently don't get passed on or get swept under the carpet -no appreciation from senior staff or trustees -overall low morale and high turnover
