Poor Vision for Future

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Being part of the work that WV does around the world. Great co-workers

Cons

Salary could be better. In the past year severe cuts to personal; WV is being run like a corporation as CEO is a corporate guy not an INGO person. He has hired additional corporate people and have severed several top level executives that had decades of experience. There is no clear vision for the future of WV. I am afraid if they continue to cut the wrong people WV will not last much longer. Kevin Jenkins really does not have a clear vision but loves to have his picture taken with heads of state and people like the Pope; he seems to be self-serving.

It's because of dedicated staff members such as yourself that World Vision exists, so thank you for your years of service. Regarding the strategy and future of World Vision, I invite you to take a look at World Vision's strategy website, OurPromise2030. We believe that every child is created in God’s image and deserves life in all its fullness.

Working with the wonderful donors that support World Vision on a daily basis has made working there worthwhile.

Pros

Opportunity to serve the poor, to make a difference in the world & to work with like-minded faith based co-workers.

Cons

Poorly run call center, more focus on statistics than on the cause. Dysfunctional management, disregard for individual employees. Very Rigid.

Great programming. Needs some internal reflection.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great programming and evidence of impact. People care about the mission. Great retirement benefits.

Cons

Difficult to grow in your career or get promotions (though this somewhat depends on your manager). Excludes LGBTQ+ Christians in hiring. Diversity and inclusion work is entirely volunteer based, relying on employees who aren’t trained to do this work to solve the org’s issues without providing any paid staff support. Christian identity primarily manifests through an American evangelical lens, rather than a holistic expression of all Christian walks. Struggles to find the balance between doing what is right vs appeasing the donors (often the latter wins when it comes to issues closer to the US).
