Pros

Before COVID, it was more welcoming and offered fantastic travel options. Incredible products and customer base.

Cons

Below average pay and benefits. No pay rise offered in several years at the company. They have a policy of "freelance firing" - they force workers onto a freelance contract with a promise of ongoing work that never materialises. The company seems to be winding down. Upper management say they welcome criticism but will oust anyone who offers suggestions for improvements. This seems to start from the CEO but extends to other managers with one or two exceptions.

Pros

Excellent support from local staff as a volunteer; I did two of their programs, so was very inclined to return. I also found the other volunteers to be great!

Cons

Can't think of too many related to the program itself. Great balance between independence and onsite assistance.

Pros

Great opportunity to live in a foreign locale and so some amazing work. I personally filmed throughout the himalayas, photographed in the jungles of Southern Nepal, and wrote stories on the streets of Kathmandu.

Cons

The pay is ridiculously low, and the structure is not very great. Most of your managers are thousands of miles away, so you must be very self sufficient.
