Business Outlook
Pros
Great colleagues, dedicated to the mission and working hard.
Cons
Leadership pays lip service to professional development but there has never been a cohesive professional development or training strategy within the organization in the time i've been there (since 2003). Leadership is focused on spending numbers to the exclusion of all else, including program quality and service to donors. Bureaucracy is unmanageable between the DC and Chicago offices, no way to actually get international development work done in the field. Operations staff, including leadership, are punitive towards junior and senior program staff for any mistakes and cause people to leave the organization when they could be coached to greater success.
