      Job is fine, don't expect training until your 5th month of employment

      Pros

      Flexible working hours in shops, nice volunteers and customers.

      Cons

      First of all, the onboarding process takes forever. It could be 1-2 months until you start working. Then you might not get any practical training until your 5th month of employment, only the online training regarding safeguarding and GDPR and the rest, but they seem to expect everything from you just because they haven't got the time or resources to train you now. If that's not enough, Oxfam has a website for everything. Holiday requests? Use this website. Training? Another website. Expenses? A third one. I may have missed some as nobody ever told me or showed me what I might need. To top it all off, all of these are so badly designed and often their pdf guides are outdated or just not very good. As a volunteer I enjoyed my time here, but that fun was buried alive after a few weeks of being employed. Never in my life have a had a job that did not start with proper training. Laughable.
