Samaritan's Purse reviews

- Inconsistent resistance to working remotely, which I didn't understand, especially in an age of COVID quarantines and such. -Not a lot of ability to promote up. Career planning felt like mostly waiting for someone above you to leave, which could take years if they're well established. Or months if they decide to leave since turnover seemed kind of high. - Location leaves something to be desired. Boone is a beautiful mountain town but the real estate is ridiculously expensive. You'll end up paying a lot to live close by or end up commuting 30-40 min. to pay a more reasonable rent/mortgage. - If you're more of a city person, there's not a lot going on in Boone. The next "big" town is Hickory which is about an hour away and has some decent amenities. Charlotte is 2 hours away which is where the closest international airport is. - Samaritan's Purse is one of the main employers in town so you'll frequently run into coworkers at church, coffee shops, etc. Could be bad or good, depending on your preference. - Seems like the kind of place that is best for fresh college grads, single adults, and those who've already had a full career. Not the best for families with young kids where one parent is working. - For such a large organization, it felt like it was still run with the mentality of a family owned business. That's fine in some respects, as you do feel close knit but I don't think it's the right management style for an organization this large.

Some of the leaders are narcissistic. the Leadership does not trust the field offices even though the field is taught to train and trust their volunteer leaders. Very little opportunity to move up
