Pros

The International Rescue Committee builds staff capacity and jobs are secured there. Besides job security and staff capacity building, salary is attractive.

Cons

The International Rescue Committee has a minor cons like transportation benefit for staff's wife or husband (family members). The vehicle policy needs to be revisited.

Pros

Wonderful work culture, your colleagues are there to provide support if needed. Great at sending to you in the field to get a better sense of on-the-ground programs (and this is a major plus because it gives you great insight as to how to effectively run programs within the 'real world' context). I was very impressed with everyone that worked there - you can't get away with working here with a poor work ethic. Dedicated, smart, hard-working people throughout. I was proud to work there.

Cons

Departments can be stretched thin in providing the needed support and training to new comers who may need that extra bit of attention when first starting out at the company. Burn-out (lots of requirements and not enough guidance to know that you're heeding them). Pay could be better, but then remember what you're working for and the % of resources that goes towards meaningful and much needed programs abroad.
