Pros

Strong company values - people choose to work here even though they could earn a higher salary elsewhere. Mission and service drives the reason people elect to work here which brings a sense of camaraderie that does not exist in other working environments. The concept of work/life balance is very real here. You can have a rewarding career full of great challenges to persevere through, while still being home for dinner every night.

Cons

Company does not practice strong change management principles which makes it very difficult to institute changes to process or work models. It's like pushing boulders up a muddy hill backwards. Company also does not performance manage people well resulting in wasted donor dollars for low production staff.

Our goal as an organization is to shift from applying change management principles in a project-by-project basis to institutionalizing and embedding change management practices throughout the entire organization. We realize the ability to effectively implement change is a core competency that will continue to be extremely important as we continue to grow and change.

Pros

Great mission and travel. Was more impressed with work being done in the fields versus in the states.

Cons

As a contract worker it was difficult to get support - I was the "face" of World Vision to thousands yet couldn't even get a business card because I was only contract.
