Pros

Benefits are the best thing they have going.

Cons

You will be manipulated. The leadership will promise things they blatantly disregard, despite paper trails, and must be pursued legally (they usually settle because they are wrong). They will try to run you out of the organization and will collectively shun you when you leave. I never thought it would happen to me despite watching it happen to others but then it did. They are culturally divisive among Jews and Christians. Most people will never be fully funded. The organization is run like a cult. You've been warned.

Pros

1. Most front-line employees at Jews for Jesus are kind and grace filled. They might well give you a shirt off their back. (This is unfortunate in that management takes full advantage of their good nature.) 2. The benefits are generous. Their self-insured medical plan is awesome. But don't use your benefits too much or you might start hearing about your performance problems... 3. You are serving others and being a fisher of men while being paid. You get to pray during work hours. You are amongst like minded people.

Cons

1. Leadership is tyrannical, narcissistic and vengeful. Management by fear is their tactic. The CFO is very much like the Executive Director in this regard. Its the culture. There is no accountability for blatant hostility or flying off the handle at staff. 2. Leadership practices are based in elitiesm and favoritism. The ordained staff have to play power games to be considered for leadership. They single out staff who don't "belong on their bus" for calling out their tactics or standing up to leadership. They take action against them, and if the staff member fights, Jews for Jesus management out maneuvers the person with resources and scare tactics. It shameful and the judgement seat will likely be very uncomfortable when their time comes. Grace is free, but you have to own your sins for entry into the Kingdom. 3. Because they are a religious non-profit, they are exempt from many of the labor relations laws at the state and federal level. They knowingly practice the act of "calculated risk" when they take questionable actions. 4. Raises come few and far between -- unless you are a current leadership favorite. Most admin staff are doing the jobs of 2 people, but they are not rewarded. The compensation practice is to start at 25% of market rate. Salary increases do not keep up with the cost of living. Their staff in San Francisco and New York are often struggling financially while cigars and wine are plentiful at leadership meetings and family trips abroad with the Board members.
