Tons of fun, no room for career growth - Coordinator Human Rights Watch Employee Review

Pros

Exposure to fascinating issues and people. If a coordinator or associate, your superiors will expect you to move on in two years and will do everything to help you get to your next job goal. Four weeks' paid vacation. Your colleagues become your best friends. The associates and coordinators spoke 90 languages between them all (and we were under 30).

Cons

Terrible pay and terrible management. Big job dissatisfaction amongst coordinators and associates. Everyone is overqualified and underpaid and stuck doing terrible admin work, with exciting projects given in tiny doses to keep everyone from going on strike. The union was always involved in some fight or another about getting folks overtime pay.
