Pros

Real opportunities for responsibility growth available to employees

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

This foundation is a wonderful place to work in the non-profit area.

Pros

The culture is great. We were doing work to benefit those in need. You left for the day feeling good that you had benefited others in need. The world of non-profit is much needed in today's economy and AmeriCares does wonderful work through out most of the world. They have great pharmaceutical companies that are donating drugs and relief supplies. Their work deserves better recognition as a good place to contribute. Almost all of the money given is used for goods. The percentage of money that is used for administration is minimal compared to many non profits. You have a good feeling when you work here.

Cons

I was really happy there. It was unfortunate that I was caught in downsizing as the economy sank. The only downside is that when donations are down, the organization cannot do as much for others and when they had to let people go save on funds, some experienced people were let go and severance was minimal although the organization offered some time of re-employment workshops. I think that we were such a close group, I am sure that the environment has changed and it will be a while before things get somewhat back to normal. I wish them well. thanks

Great Mission - Poor Team & Leadership

Pros

Love the mission. The work is important and impactful.

Cons

The People & Talent team is a joke. They don't live by org's values. There's little to no room for growth unless you're "in" with the leadership team.
