Pros

The mission. The possibility to help people around the world lift themselves out of poverty is what attracts anyone to CARE. On your best day, you can make a difference in the lives of people who desperately need a hand up.

Cons

CARE has not invested in its people. It rarely promotes from within, leaving staff feeling as if their contributions are not valued. While salaries are fair, salary increases once inside the organization are very hard to come by. Poor managers are not held accountable, and promotions are rarely based on management ability.
