Worst Management & HR Team Ever

Business Outlook

Pros

pay can be competitive w/ market

Cons

Awful Management Discriminatory Practices Have to fight for earned raises & promotions Does not value employees Leaders not held accountable Empty promises from HR (re: leaders targeting and discriminating against employees) I worked in a certain department for over 10 years. During that time, the amount of complaints HR received about certain leaders abusing their power and targeting & discriminating against employees was astronomical. When I was targeted myself, HR promised to protect and mediate, but refused to even mediate a meeting between me and said leader. Upon my termination, i was promised an investigation into the matter. No such investigation happened (I still maintain contact w/ those i worked with). This has by far been the worst employment experience i’ve ever had and no amount of money is worth it

Pros

The mission and work in the field is unbeatable. If you want to feel proud about the change you are making join World Vision.

Cons

The office is very competitive and inefficient. Teams do not work together because they are fighting to get noticed and funded and without team work everyone is one their own struggling to get noticed and the work is redundant because teams will not share research or methods. This is a very expensive and destructive environment. The team with the biggest voice or the "inside relationship” wins, rather than the team that is most innovative or has the best results. For big talkers (generally men) they get ahead and the productive innovative teams go unnoticed. The Executive Team is disconnected and they fail to acknowledge or reward teams.

Pros

Their work has powerful impact hear in the US and across the world. They produce some of the best content of any organization I've ever worked with. You certainly get to play a part of something bigger.

Cons

They mean well, but often bureaucracy, silos, and keeping information as currency kills great ideas and disrupts progress. Often the requirement for buy-in across large cross functional teams muddles the outcome of projects. The work cut off and be done with half to one third the people involved. More agility is needed.

Improving our agility is a key focus for us. Some of the elements you describe - eliminating bureaucracy, hiring experts, enabling the right people to lead out versus having too many people involved – are all things we are actively doing more and better. Making significant improvements in something like agility does take time and we are committed to progress. Our love for the mission and improving the lives of the most vulnerable children compel us to do so!
