Go to CARE only if you want to be a lifelong employee of non-profits. Excellent place to intern in too. - Anonymous employee CARE (USA) Employee Review

Pros

I liked the fact that CARE USA allows for a good work-life balance. They have a business casual feel to them, inspite of being a very professional organization. They care to make a difference and they so.

Cons

The only downside to work in a non-profit is that if/when you want to branch away to a "for profit" organization, their perception is that potential employees have not "cut their teeth".

CARE continues to focus on saving lives and defeating poverty and it is inspiring to see how everyone remains committed to our mission.

Like all nonprofits, CARE is dealing with a difficult and unpredictable operating environment.

Pros

My coworkers were great and I had the opportunity to travel to different countries and see the work CARE was doing in person, great way to learn about the world and different cultures. The overall mission of the org is great and the programs implemented are actually making a huge impact on people lives around the world. Benefits (PTO, 401K, etc) are pretty good as well.

Cons

You're expected to always work overtime and not complain and if you set healthy boundaries then you're not seen as a "team player". The processes are broken and the attempts to fix them are short lived. There are too many cooks in the kitchen when it came to final reviews, usually extending the life of a project by weeks because one person didn't like one specific detail. The diversity in the marketing team is significantly lacking considering the org is focused on supporting international voices and stories. Upper management doesn't have much respect for anyone under a director level. HR is unhelpful and messy. For an org that pushes a message of diversity and belonging, the employees are treated MUCH differently which is extremely disappointing.
