Pros

Working together with the staff - a group of collegial, educated, passionate and mission driven men and women. Educational and rewarding opportunity to learn about global public health. First hand experience traveling to the developing world to witness the challenges faced by victims of natural and manmade disasters was lifechanging.

Cons

Professional growth and development is challenging in an enviroment where staff wear many hats and have limited time to think strategically or develop plans that would create more efficiencies to get the day to day work done.

Pros

Americares is a genuinely mission-driven organization where you have the opportunity to make a meaningful difference while working alongside some incredibly talented and passionate colleagues. The people are what make this organization special, there is deep technical expertise, a collaborative culture, and a shared commitment to improving health for communities affected by poverty and disaster. I've had opportunities to grow professionally, lead strategic initiatives around quality, impact and learning and work across a diverse global portfolio. The organization also offers flexibility through remote and hybrid working, which has been invaluable in supporting work-life balance while collaborating with colleagues around the world. One of the things I value most is that Americares is a highly reflective organization. It doesn't pretend to have all the answers; instead, it continually learns, adapts, and looks for ways to improve. If you're someone who enjoys solving complex problems, working with exceptional people, and contributing to meaningful change, it's a very rewarding place to build a career.

Cons

As with many growing nonprofits, some organizational systems and processes continue to evolve. This means there are opportunities to help shape how work gets done, but it also requires flexibility, adaptability, and a willingness to work in an environment committed to continuous improvement. The positive side is that you'll be surrounded by talented colleagues who are genuinely invested in making the organization stronger.
