Pros

The International Rescue Committee is one of the best in the field for the work they do. Colleagues are generally very committed to the cause.

Cons

The IRC evolves with each new CEO, and not always for the better. The organization seems to grow by leaps and bounds, and there seems to be a movement toward corporatization. Still doing great work, but it would be nicer if management seemed to care as much about staff as it does about beneficiaries.

Great organization

Pros

People are passionate about their work. The mission drives everything. No question of need. Warm, friendly, fun teams. Great variety of work and locations.

Cons

Low salaries. Generally weak management. Bare bones spending on internal infrastructure like IT (which is a pro in that money goes to programs, but it can make day-to-day work challenging).

Pros

Great co-workers and clients, meaningful work helping international refugees resettle and adapt in the U.S. Good for volunteer opportunities.

Cons

Low pay, staff poorly treated and under appreciated, over-sized, management-heavy bureaucratic organization with outdated, entrenched hierarchy, high turnover among workers and middle management, negligent towards California state labor laws regarding vacation accrual and overtime pay.. Money stays at the top and does not trickle down--funds not available for essential office supplies.
