Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry to hear that your time here didn’t meet your expectations. We appreciate your perspective on HR and leadership communication. While experiences can vary, we take this feedback seriously and will review it as we work to ensure consistency and transparency in how we support staff. Regarding compensation and benefits, we regularly review our programs to ensure they remain competitive within the nonprofit sector. Competitive highlights include a strong retirement contribution, annual merit increases, flexible hybrid work, geographic pay differential, generous parental leave, extra holiday time, inflation adjustments for global staff and pastoral care. Our goal is to balance sustainability with care for staff across all global locations. Workforce adjustments are never easy, and we approach them with care and transparency. Past changes were made to strengthen areas like marketing and innovation, and more recent outsourcing decisions focused on reducing costs to sustain our mission. Whenever these shifts occur, we prioritize extended notice and transition support. While change is part of adapting to a dynamic environment, our commitment to treating people with respect and compassion remains constant. We appreciate your contributions during your time here and your commitment to our mission.

Pros

Great people... great mission. Incredible to be a part of such a life-changing ministry to some of the most impoverished children in the world.

Cons

Expectations are very high to do so much with relatively little resources.

Pros

Everyone is attracted to the mission, at least at first. There are some exceptional benefits in terms of work flexibility, and an overall sense of making a meaningful impact in lives.

Cons

Things move slowly, and direction is often unclear to the point that staff lose motivation. The organization is undergoing financial stress with no clear remedy, and there are very limited opportunities for growth. It's frustrating to see pet projects get resources while true organizational needs go unattended. The medical insurance offering has been almost worthless, though Compassion tries with a HSA plus-up.
