World Relief Reviews

I have been working at World Relief full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – The management is servant hearted, everyone is there to change the world, people love and care for their clients better than at any other similar organizations (which says a lot in a field with love and care at its core). Decent infrastructure, lot of room to build original initiatives and improve processes.

Cons – Pay rate is lower than anywhere in the industry by a hefty margin! No real development tracks or promotional efforts. That said, people work here because they WANT to and are willing to sacrifice a living wage to do it.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Pros – It was nice at the end of the workday to feel that you made a difference in the life of a child, family or refugee in need through Jesus Christ.

Cons – No input from employees ever induced management to rework strategies for the company. Executive took away a lot of benefits and changed work culture to a more corporate environment.

I worked at World Relief

Pros – World Relief serves the local immigrant population effectively and provides a broad variety of services, ranging from refugee resettlement to tutoring to legal aid.

Cons – While the organization provides useful services, the immigration legal services branch devotes a little more time, energy, and money to advocacy work than I appreciated, and it was not always organized very efficiently.

Advice to Senior Management – -More effective and up to date public relations work would be helpful in expanding the organization's mission.
-Advocacy work could be more focused and efficient.
