Compassion is a great place to NOT grow professionally, personally or spiritually. Professionally you sit in meeting after worthless meeting to have nothing to show. It is analysis paralysis and all leadership has to say is that they hope value is found in it. Personally you are to care for yourself and advocate for the mission through innovation and efficiency but you get destroyed when you challenge things. Spiritually if you say you are a Christian, you are in. They do not truly seek the heart of God, put discipleship in place or place themselves at a higher standard. As long as they are not doing "as bad" as other ministries or organizations/companies then they are doing well and expect God to bless them continually. They have lied and told employees to lie to sponsors. Kids that are no longer in the program or the country no longer allows Compassion to work there, Compassion has just switched out similar looking kids and hope that sponsors don't notice. If sponsors do notice then they are just told that it was a technical error and apologize. Pizza parties and elaborate "retreats" are put in place without really considering the purpose of being there. No one speaks out because they are fine with a political answer given or are enjoying the great benefits, fancy workplace, etc.
