      Scamming Non-profit

      Cultural orientation coordinator
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The clients and refugees you work with are the highlight of this organization. The colleagues are diverse and everyone is amiable with a laser focus on helping clients.

      Cons

      IRC is definitely predatory in how they hire. It’s never about the qualifications but if they can get employees for “cheap”. They underpay new grads and their old clients for critical jobs by at least 50 percent. After exploiting your labor for cheap, they will chalk it up to being a “non-profit” and will use your good intentions of helping people to keep the illusion that they are paying you a fair and liveable wage.

      Not a good experience (international programs at HQ)

      Program manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good service delivery in some areas.

      Cons

      The IRC is run like a corporation, not like a humanitarian organization. At headquarters, I was surrounded by careerists who never really reflected on the values of the work itself. It felt artificial and mechanical, and there was no room to grow.
