Pros
The mission impacts millions of lives around the world. CARE is full of people eager to make a difference. Teams are well-versed in the work and the reputation of the organization allows for greater reach in hard-hit areas.
Cons
The leadership team is far removed from the realities of the community. This organization is diverse, but not inclusive - unless you are a white woman. If you want to sharpen your experience in professional politics, this is the place for you. CARE is slowly falling apart as the gap between practitioners and C-suite leadership widens. It is all about quantity over quality, volume over direct impact, marketing over actual program delivery. Bullies are celebrated and people and culture are bought out by these high-ranked leaders, which enables a consistently toxic work environment. Beware! Don't be surprised if your good intentions to make an impact gets drowned and swallowed up by the messiness in this organization going in the wrong direction.
