Pros

- My time at Step Change left me with lifelong friends and great professional mentors, I still drop into the office to say hi and to learn new things. - Culture of mentoring and learning is strong, the senior staff genuinely cared about helping me fulfill my potential - Great variety in the types of projects and problems I worked on - Even from a fairly junior position my suggestions and ideas were taken seriously

Cons

- Expectations are high, so the work can be stressful but high expectations is how you achieve great things - Strong culture of learning and honesty isn't for everyone but if you're motivated and creative you'll thrive

Pros

None that I can think of.

Cons

Working at StepChange Debt Charity is soul‑destroying. The role is relentless, taking call after call with no real break, leaving staff drained. Managers refuse to speak to customers when complaints arise, leaving frontline staff to take the brunt. Unrealistic KPIs and harsh call targets push people to breaking point, with many going off on long‑term sick due to stress. Staff turnover is extremely high, and morale is constantly low. If your face fits than great and if not then be prepared! While the charity’s purpose is admirable, the internal reality is damaging, unsustainable, and leaves employees feeling undervalued and expendable.
