Pros

Mission, International connections, Junior staff is very passionate.

Cons

Directors lack management skills. They do not like opinions that differ from theirs even when they ask to feedback and input. No HR. They retaliate when an employee speaks up against mistreatment, often by threatening to fire them and offering additional pay in return for signing a confidentiality agreement. Low pay. Constant micromanaging and lack of trust from supervisors towards their employees. The Finance and Development Directors degrade, intimidate, and humiliate their employees in open-settings. There is no cross-over training at all. Lack of diversity in their employees. Biased, sexist, and racist practices during the hiring process from all directors. Finance director openly yells, curses, and constantly fights and rejects initiatives to improve office culture and build office camaraderie.

Pros

I learned a lot, my supervisor actually taught me new skills and I left better qualified than when I went in. Also, I interned there in 2013, but Glassdoor won’t let me put that year.

Cons

None, it was fine. Only issue is New York city is expensive for interns, but CPJ was clear about how much they could pay me before I started.

Pros

The work is so important and you have an opportunity to really contribute positively to the world.

Cons

Some directors are unprofessional and unkind. HR is nonexistent and makes it clear that they are advocating for the org, not the employees. All union employees are underpaid for the immense amount of work we do.
