Pros

Some of the people you meet are absolute gold. You also get the chance to bring my Christ into the lives of university students, do life with them and love them through what are often extremely turbulent years.

Cons

Cru has some very toxic leadership. They have a culture of silencing putting those who speak out against I’ll health in the organization. I also witnessed them give unreachable performance goals to people experiencing quite serious mental health episodes, then using their failure as ground for firing them. They have failed to address huge demands for mental health among staff. It’s disappointing.

I'm sorry for your experience. We are working actively to address mental health challenges and deal with them and with people in ways that care for people. We'll continue to work on these things.

Pros

There are many pros to working with Cru. Great people and great teams doing great work in the lives of students at the campuses where they serve. You really get to know fellow coworkers well, and feel connected doing ministry together. You also get to witness firsthand what God is doing. Cru also provides good support and flexibility for needs - whether it be mental health considerations, having children, or needing help on the job. There is also great training provided for the role.

Cons

Support raising can be challenging, even with support and training. National seems to be a little disconnected from campus teams at times.
