Pros

This is a Great mission, there is none better.

Cons

Overworked, used, threatened and under-appreciated. Oh, did I mention the worst pay in the US and their best attempts to cheat you out of that. It is quite shocking from a humanitarian organization.

Thank you for your review and praise for our mission. We are sorry to hear about your negative experiences. We recognize the importance of not only fairly compensating our employees but also making them feel valued. Our Concern Connection line is available to address issues that one may not feel comfortable speaking directly to their supervisor about; the phone number may be found on our intranet site. Thank you for your feedback--we will pass it on to our leadership team.

Pros

- decent health insurance - helping people feels good. - depending on your chapter you can get good, flexible time - some volunteers are legit saints

Cons

- everyone on the inside doesn’t think things will meaningfully change, it’s systemic. - leadership is often out of touch in expectations and demands, while provide verbal support (at best), chronic understaffing, and focusing on what looks good (to media, PR, etc.). - turnover is extreme - on call is 24/7, volunteer capacity is dwindling especially in rural areas, we have to fill in the gaps, as a result you will be trapped in your area and cannot be good at your actual job. - the non-saint volunteers will treat you horribly, god forbid if you are a woman in this position, there’s a de-facto no firing policy on volunteers - pay is so bad is borders on funny, they gave me a raise this year for ‘merit,’ it was $750…for the year. My boss even laughed when telling me. - it’s a culture of management not leadership, so do not expect either honesty or accountability
