Pros

Because of their work across the industry with companies both religious and non, they've been able to make a true impact in countries. The financials are respectable. Having a workplace where your faith life is encouraged is fantastic. Travel opportunities are higher than other companies. They are surprisingly flexible with work/life balance which is great for parents.

Cons

If you have ever worked at a Church it is exactly like this. Behind the scenes is a mess. You have outdated practices, sexism is quite rampant across the executive leadership level, very inauthentic. The pattern is to come up with a new hot marketing initiative every year if numbers are down instead of making sure their foundational core marketing is great; many have voiced this, management was dismissive. The teams are extremely cliquey which was surprising. The turnover rate is very high especially for people who come from outside the company. Many long timers have never worked outside of World Vision before. Business practices are not strong. The loudest voice in the room gets their way. It's just rough all around.

Pros

High degree of trust between supervisors and staff; everyone supported the same mission statement of the organization.

Cons

Too many and too frequent organizational changes and team reorganizations. High level of anxiety while going through annual budget setting processes.

We're so glad that you had a positive and trust-filled experience with your supervisors at World Vision. You're absolutely right, there have been some changes within team structures at World Vision and that can definitely be jarring to employees. We're so sorry you experienced such high anxiety brought on by the annual budget and do hope that you are now in a much healthier place. Thank you again for all your hard work, we wish you the very best!
