Pros

God is at work in this ministry, and continues to be placed at the center of the work. By in large, teams are healthy, supported by good leaders, and striving to get better. There are opportunities for growth. Pay is fair and the benefits are excellent. Remote working flexibility is excellent and conveys great trust in employees.

Cons

movement is slow, and initiatives are often pushed out the door quickly but not supported enough to be successful, leaving staff reluctant to get on board with change.

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.
