Pros

Doing great work around the world, Some truly great people, see a difference in people's lives from your daily work.

Cons

Overworked and underpaid (even for non profit), management does not always show minimum value for employees (depending on the department - very hit or miss), difficult to move up.

Pros

Serve the poor in the name of Christ. Gain basic understanding of international development. Many friendly coworkers. Full-time. Benefits.

Cons

Extremely controlling environment--for example, employees have been interrogated and almost fired due to technical glitches due to the archaic software/phone system. Employees have been fired for hanging up on people who were screaming and cursing at them. Repetitive. You almost have to beg to learn new things and work on special projects. Very few opportunities to advance past the call center. Very little desire for management to advance you. Favoritism. (what little promotions are given are often based on favoritism, not skill level or job knowledge)Management will make up inaccurate excuses to not promote or advance agents. Almost weekly pressure to fundraise or bring donated goods to the call center. Constant monitoring with cameras, coaches, sign in systems, etc.

Caring people, sometimes pulled in too many different directions

Pros

The main positives are unity of purpose, clear articulation of principles, high integrity, measured risk taking, diversified sources of income, and talented and loyal staff. A highlight of the year is the annual day of prayer at the beginning of the fiscal year.

Cons

The persistent negatives are a passive-aggressive culture, a department-level silo mentality that hampers collaboration, a pattern of slow and incremental adaptation to industry change, an increasingly stingy benefit package, and unclear career paths.
