Don't work in HR - Anonymous employee Catholic Relief Services Employee Review

-Working in HR has been a rollercoaster - It used to be bad, then great, then bad again. The current HR EVP talks a lot about respect in the organization but does not model it in her own work. She is also not receptive to ideas differing from her own and seems to value status of position over the experience and knowledge of the HR professionals on the team. I expect someone new will come in eventually but would expect a large number of very talented staff will have left by then. -Not much room for growth in HR - there seems to be a preference to hire externally rather than develop from within -Last engagement survey results were very low because people felt overworked and underappreciated - no action seems to have been taken to make these numbers go anywhere but down
