Save the Children Employer Reviews

Fine place to work. Technology needs revamping. In constant flux.

Save the Children is a great place to work, as long as your manager knows how to manage. While I was there, my senior level coworkers took more interest in my career advancement than my supervisor did. I was expected to do work at 100% accuracy while never being trained on it.

I have been working on a part time basis during Saturday afternoons, mainly on the shop floor, working from 1 to about 4pm.

Over the last few years working in the shop I have learned how charities operate and gained experience of the tasks and responsabilities involved needed to work in a retail enviornment such as working on the till and doing returns – more... on customer products. I have also learned how to print out the x reading on the till at the end of each afternoon which the manageress teached to me when I started. I work mostly on the till alone and sometimes along with one my co-workers when the shop gets really busy.

I have to say that the hardest part of the job can be handling heavy donations which we sometimes get.

The most enjoyable part of the job is operating on the till and knowing that the work is going towards a good cause. – less
