Pros

IRC is an exceptionally effective non-profit. Everything you do will directly benefit a refugee and help them in their process of starting life in America. They don't let their clients fall. You know what you're doing is impactful and meaningful, and that makes the amount of stress almost worth it

Cons

As with many non-profits, the pay rates are horrible for the amount of work and stress and time that you put into the job. You give a lot of yourself mentally and emotionally for a salary that barely pays bills in today's economy. While generally well-managed, the recent emergency response to the Afghanistan crisis was very poorly handled and the burden landed on the emergency hired employees to solve problems with little to no training.

Pros

Great work, full of purpose, highly motivated organization

Cons

Lack of accountability for staff and supervisors. When MAJOR ethical issues arose, there was no follow up or reprocussions, allowing behaviors to continue.
