      Lots of work put in only for managers to get the glory

      Pros

      fulfillment from assisting refugees achieve their goals

      Cons

      Career growth is grandfathered in - the longer you have been there, the higher your chances of being promoted, most managers are underqualified but become managers because of grandfathering in, lots of inappropriate conduct between managers and program staff; management self promotes and salary discrepancies are quite obvious

      Rewarding internship with passionate co-workers who try to stay true to the organization's mission

      Pros

      Welcoming environment. Got to work with a small group of passionate and driven people, who really cared about the work they do. You could get a lot of hands-on experience with the community you are trying to help depending on your specific position/ department.

      Cons

      Internship is unpaid. As a non-profit that depends on help from volunteers and interns for their projects and work, there will be lots of interns/volunteers coming in and out with less continuity.

      Work-life balance difficult

      Pros

      Personal growth and professional development opportunities are many (at least in HQ), mostly everyone is a delight to work with, wonderful inspiring people who are truly motivated by clients and love what they do.

      Cons

      There is a lot of talk that compensation is low, it's difficult to move up, and work-life balance is hard to strike. Also that it can be too "top-down" from HQ to the field staff.
