Pros

Very encouraging environment in terms of your relationship with Christ. Excellent workplace for mature Christians. Fair pay. Excellent benefits. The people you work with are always kind and considerate.

Cons

The changes being made to Samaritan's Purse make the work we do more difficult. In the end it works out because we make it work. Something people applying for positions should consider that wasn't always a focus of our organization is that Samaritan's Purse is unwilling to hire people who agree in any way with same sex marriage or anyone who believes life starts at any point past conception. People who are neutral to these positions are also not hirable. This is not a job that encourages diversity. If you think outside of the box, you won't be a good fit, and SP is very quick to cut off what they believe to be dead wood. As a Christian organization, all they need is one bible verse to back up any decision they make. it's important to them that everyone has the same perspective on everything. This is an ideal job for radical conservatives who are also devout Christians. They are very unlikely to knowingly hire a liberal

Pros

Unwavering focus on a fulfilling organizational mission.

Cons

No advancement opportunities if entering as Administrative Assistant. Shamed if prioritize family over the mission. Senior management too overwhelmed by pressure to meet leadership's high expectations to sufficiently fulfill desire to invest in the professional development of employees who report to them.

Pros

The people you work with are very nice and understanding. The work is very meaningful and you have many opportunities to get involved in volunteer work.

Cons

Very conservative organization. Strict rules and spiritual pressure to conform to a certain standard of spiritual life. The organization is run from the top down, almost like a dictatorship style of leadership. Not as much collaborative process because what the president says goes no matter how creative you might be or no matter how amazing your ideas are.
