Pros

I believe in the mission of the organization, helping children rise above poverty.

Cons

Those in leadership use public humiliation as a prime tactic to shoot down those with ideas different than the status quota. Some employee's have been told they would lose their jobs if they did not keep comments to themselves. Many employee's are afraid to speak their opinions about those in leadership, as they need their jobs so they put up with the dictatorship and micro managing. Those who have had medical issues are singled out more often than not, the leadership seems to take a bulls eye on them. Ridiculing and micro managing these individuals to the point that they resign. Other employees who see and hear what is taking place are too afraid to speak up as they fear that this will happen to them as well. Many employees have a great distrust for those in leadership because of this. Legalism runs rampant, while grace is seldom seen. The unsaid rule is keep your mouth shut and act like you know nothing, least you be the next target. Politics are thick in leadership, some can do no wrong, all the while they are doing very wrong.

Pros

Working at Compassion is not just a job, it's a calling and a mission.

Cons

Because we must keep overhead low, we often have one person doing several jobs.

Pros

Great cause. Work that really makes a difference in the lives of children - undeniably.

Cons

Politically charged. Progressive on some ways, surprisingly conservative in others.
