International Rescue Committee reviews

Salaries could be increased but offset to benefits

The passion and drive to help others that often leads individuals to work at IRC is often undermined and at times abused by the work environment. Little training is provided, stressful situations abound with low support and resources, coupled with low pay and little development opportunities often leads to either staff burning out and leaving early - large amounts of turnaround - or check-out with staff doing bare minimum to get by. Little transparency among admin and HR. HQ provides some online development options but management are rare to provide actual time/support to staff wanting to take part. Difficult work-life balance as internal expectation is that you will continually go above and beyond your role.
