Pros

Fellow workers are great, they all go above and beyond to help clients in a wide variety of matters, there is very little opportunity for advancement at this office which has led people to leave to advance their careers. While the general culture of work is good-all the general workers will assist each other any time it is needed, however there are times that management seems oblivious to the daily stresses and problems.

Cons

The primary complaint across the board is that salaries do not compare with others doing the same work in this area

Pros

Everyone employee at IRC was there for the mission of the organization from the Director to the Interns to the Childcare Teachers. Lots of room for Interns to gain experience and become part of the staff especially in resettlement and immigration.

Cons

salaries are very low; not a lot of room for advancement.

Business Outlook

Pros

In a regional office, the tangible benefits you can provide directly to clients is motivating and extremely satisfying. You literally have the opportunity to change lives for the better and the environment attracts a dynamic, dedicated and close-knit staff.

Cons

The lack of resources and sustainable funding is extremely difficult to manage for staff at all levels: front-line staff, managers and executive leadership.
