Great Mission - Bad Career Move

Anonymous employee

Pros

A great mission and flexible work schedule. A lot of "Career training" available. If you need a flexible work schedule this is the place - for a while. Competitive salary for a non-profit. The underlying desire is there among most employees to really make a difference in the lives of children and tends to attract some very smart and interesting people.

Cons

Terrible Senior Management, No Career Movement, Participation in "Career Training Programs" ultimately leads to no career movement. Many of the Senior management tend to create an unnecessarily competitive environment which lead to a tense working situation. The struggle to be recognized among mid managers lead to an almost impossible environment for teamwork and ultimately very unprofessional behavior. To anyone who both wants to make a difference and is also career oriented, Save the Children is a mixed bag. Yes its a great mission. Unfortunately the organization is a career killer and most of the talent realize this after a few years and jump ship to other organizations. Senior management accountability is almost non existent.
