Pros

Great benefits and the best colleagues around! It's rare to come across someone working at IRC who doesn't have a high level of commitment to the people we serve.

Cons

I've experienced poor work/life balance and am very underpaid for my title and work I do

Pros

1. Diverse Population and great people to work with. I loved my co-workers. 2. Medical Benefits and matching for 403B Plan was something I valued. 3. There was good amount of work and I was never bored.

Cons

There is lot of partiality that is visible in Senior Management positions.

Pros

Once the organization offered a well-recognized name, stable work, reasonable pay, and solid benefits (including health insurance and a decent—though not exceptional—vacation package).

Cons

Unfortunately, that stability has disappeared. The company was first shaken by reduced government funding and later by a series of poor leadership decisions. In recent years, its vision has become increasingly disconnected from reality. Roles are often filled by individuals who are not fully qualified or the right fit, while highly skilled employees have been laid off through multiple rounds of cuts. This has caused morale and motivation across teams to drop significantly. The organization no longer feels aligned with the values it promotes, and its overall direction is unclear.

Incredible Organization!

Business outlook

Pros

Contrary to how tough employees are on the organization and its leadership, IRC is a truly phenomenal organization. Very rich benefits, competitive pay (they pay at the market rate), an extraordinary mission, excellent strategy and a powerful history of accomplishments. The people are among the brightest and most committed you’ll ever meet.

Cons

Work life balance can be brutal; systems don’t align with the size and complexity of the org.
