    Terrible Managers

    Apr 19, 2019 - Project Coordinator in Arlington, VA
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Generally a nice working environment.

    Cons

    Managers are long term staff who have become unnecessarily hierarchical (in a place that boosts a flat structure), and have little checks and balances. Many are promoted based on loyalty, not solid management skills. Junior staff are nurtured based on their luck-of-the-draw with supervisors and managers.

    Pros

    Would highly recommend JSI for all-level professionals. Positive working environment doing mission-driven work.

    Cons

    Much of the international development work relies on big donor funding and grants, so not much flexibility with salary and increases.
