- 4.0Nov 8, 2023Program AssistantCurrent EmployeeWashington, DC
Pros
Exposure to global health, working with people from all around the world, learning more about public health and different health areas
Cons
Lack of work life balance, there is no way to ensure employees are not overworked unless you have a good manager. There is not a lot of motivation to come into the office and policies surrounding promotions are lacking. During the two years I have been at PATH, at least seven people from PATH leadership have left and there is so much restructuring happening within the organization.

Pros
I've mostly enjoyed my time at PATH. My colleagues are smart, kind, and easy to work with.
Cons
As an early-mid career employee I've had increasing frustrations around compensation and growth opportunities. 1. While the pay is higher than other nonprofits, it is still too low. We have also taken pay cuts in the form of increased health insurance premiums over the past few years. 2. There are few opportunities for promotion and PATH has no structure for growing early career employees, whether they receive a promotion or not. I often get the feeling that I am falling behind my peers in other industries because there are not adequate avenues for skills development. This is likely a team dependent issue but it should be addressed at the organizational level. But it doesn't seem like there is appetite for this.
