Pros

IRC does a fantastic job of making their values known, working for an amazing cause, and giving great benefits. There are many sick days, vacation days, floating holidays that you can use, and they are usually granted if you request within the allotted time. The work keeps you very busy, but the people are amazing to work with for the most part.

Cons

The office is overworked and underpaid, and the management could do a significantly better job of supporting their employees, especially during the busy season.

Pros

The most memorable part of my experience with the IRC were my incredible colleagues and incredible clients. Their personality and spirit in one word: "Survivor." The work is challenging, strenuous, educational, and inspirational.

Cons

The work is stressful and time consuming. The work is never done. Many people feel a deep, strong commitment and passion for their work. But this also means they work incredibly long and stressful hours for very little pay.
