Passionate people, great opportunities!

Pros

I have been working here for several years now. Currently, this organization is going through a positive, revolutionary transition. With the advent of a new CEO in the beginning of 2014, I believe that evolution will catalyze faster. AmeriCares is slowly transitioning from a medical aid and humanitarian aid organization to a more development and program oriented organization, still maintaining its emergency response and humanitarian aid as its strongest base. This is a place to work if you have a passion to work in the humanitarian development and global health fields. People here love what they do, they are an energetic, passionate bunch who truly care. Apart from that, friendly community, great work-life balance especially for females.

Cons

Some departments can seem a little disconnect with the overall mission of this organization. But the higher management is working on regular communication and education.

Cons

Work on some teams can be the same day-in and day-out so it can take some effort to stay motivated towards larger goals

Everyone really is passionate about what they are doing and cares about the company. Everyone is very friendly and always says Hi.

Cons

Things are very inefficient and move extremely slowly as a result.

Americares Response

A lot has changed since 2013, and while we are always looking for ways to become more efficient - our new strategic plan helps to give us a clear vision allowing us to achieve things more quickly.
