Need more work/life balance for Field Staff

Pros

Field Staff hired are EXCELLENT!! Incredibly skilled and godly people. The mission draws them -

Cons

HQ needs to listen to the Field more. Too much burn-out and too much aggrandizing of Franklin. He is just a broken human like everyone else. Take down all the Franklin pictures all over campus - put up instead more pics of those you've helped.

Pros

Great to be a part of a place making a worldwide impact. Wide span of activities and projects and a very strong donor/financial base.

Cons

Very conservative evangelical Christian atmosphere that may be interpreted as legalistic by some. Growth seems at times to have outpaced infrastructure.

Pros

Some great people. Samaritan's Purse does great work and I love that it is all done with a mindset of reaching people for the Lord.

Cons

I met some wonderful people during my time there. However, I also witnessed issues of toxicity, and saw people advancing in title due to personal connections with leadership or because the organization couldn’t afford to lose them, seemingly leading to offers of very attractive salaries. I’ve struggled for a long time with how to express my feelings about my experience at Samaritan’s Purse, as I was emotionally hurt during my time there. While there’s much I could say, I’ll simply share my disappointment in leadership. They set expectations, such as requiring men to wear ties and mandating face masks, but frequently failed to follow these rules themselves. Leadership should practice what they preach.
