Great work environment, low pay

Pros

Truly wonderful mission and dedicated staff. The pay is minimal, so staff is truly in it to assist refugees.

Cons

The salary is minimal at best. The benefits help ease the sting of the pay, but it's difficulty to contribute to your retirement fund or pay copays at the doctor when you are barely scraping by.

Pros

Experience varies by country program, but the country program where I worked ran like a well-oiled machine. There was a lot of autonomy and room for innovation within your own job, but not much beyond that. The work was rewarding as the progress made was very tangible. Great non-salary benefits.

Cons

Salary was low compared to other NGOs in the country Not much innovation at the project design level Minimal room for promotion for international staff Minimal staff development for international staff Their development projects lack a sustainable vision as they are primarily accustomed to humanitarian aid.
