      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The IRC holds itself to incredibly high standards of commitment and dedication to its work and mission, but also is taking necessary steps to invest in and support staff working towards this purpose. While you're not in the lap of luxury, with the IRC, you don't have to choose between making a difference and making a living for yourself. Medical benefits with this company are great and supportive of their women employees.

      Cons

      Employees are overworked and burnout is common. A gap exists between HQ and field staff that can improve.

      Amazing work experience. Poor management and work/life balance.

      Pros

      Great population to work with. Most of the employees are highly dedicated. You are given a lot of opportunities to create programming to address needs of the clients as they arise. If you can be a caseworker here you will be able to do any job in the social service industry.

      Cons

      High turnover due to poor management causes them to lose their best employees. It is an attractive place to work so they attract talented workers, however they burnout rate is high and they move on quickly. You are only allowed to work 37.5 hours, and that is not enough time to complete all your work. Overtime pay is rarely given. The culture that has been created by management is you are expected to work overtime to complete all your work without receiving pay.
