International Rescue Committee reviews

Low pay, overwork, micromanaged, no opportunity for growth

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.
