An opportunity to help the most vulnerable

Pros

You get the chance to really help people. Great vacation and benefits package. IRC is a leader among other resettlement volags. If you're going to work in refugee resettlement IRC is definitely the best one to work for. Some of the field staff are fantastic people to work with.

Cons

There is a major disconnect between the field staff and the headquarters. New initiatives are typically ignored unless you make them successful. IRC cares so deeply about branding and marketing it feels the core values are forgotten some times. It's difficult to transfer from US Programs to International Programs.

Pros

My coworkers were great and management was very supportive. The organization does work to be proud of.

Cons

The particular department required extensive travel which can get tiring and the scheduling can be erratic and mercurial, more due to the nature of the work than the staff.
