Pros
IV has a lot of well-meaning staff who sincerely work to improve the lives of college students and share the love of Jesus. I made a lot of great staff friends over my years working with IV, and I still keep in touch with some of them. It's not those staff's fault that upper management hides things from them.
Cons
-Forces staff into unsustainable work hours (for the "2030 Calling") -Doesn't actually care about staff wellness (even though the leaders say they do) -Portrays itself as having a moderate view on homosexuality (Side B), but actually functions with the most extreme conservative view (Side X) in how it makes various organizational decisions. LGTBQ+ staff don't last long in IV, and they often leave traumatized. -In reality, only actually supports 1-2 ethnic-minority demographics, while neglecting the others. -Doesn't know how to effectively talk about mental health, and refuses to listen to feedback that employees have given multiple times over the years. -Actively hides its flaws from staff and donors through selective information-sharing, HR cover-ups*, and spiritual bypassing -Low salaries -Few opportunities for advancement -etc. *One of my friends was wrongly fired after she had a single panic attack, but HR told everyone in her region that she voluntarily resigned. They tried to make her sign an NDA but she declined, so they refused to give her any severance pay. (I can share this story because she declined the NDA, so it's not confidential.)
