Pros

I had a great time at Oxfam for the past year of being there. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking to volunteer, met some good people and has really helped me find work. Will continue to volunteer there when I'm not at work.

Cons

When the manager was absent one of the key-holder would be responsible for opening and closing the shop, they weren't good at delegating tasks to the volunteers although there have been times he manager went out of his way to write a list of things to do for each volunteer on his absence. Some volunteers barely did any work and were there socializing all day. It would be nice if Oxfam was open on a Sunday
