      Dedicated staff, terrible management

      Pros

      Everyone at the IRC really cares about what they do and it shows in the quality of their work. It is great to work at a place where people live for what they do and are truly dedicated to the people they serve.

      Cons

      Management structure leaves a lot to be desired. Some supervisor-employee relationships border on abusive and it seems to be a systemic problem.

      Motivating but difficult work with low compensation and poor development opportunities

      Pros

      The mission and work of the organization/employees is deeply inspiring and results in a passionate group of like minded colleagues working to support clients. The organization has a strong presence in the field and is well respected. Great medical insurance benefits.

      Cons

      The passion and drive to help others that often leads individuals to work at IRC is often undermined and at times abused by the work environment. Little training is provided, stressful situations abound with low support and resources, coupled with low pay and little development opportunities often leads to either staff burning out and leaving early - large amounts of turnaround - or check-out with staff doing bare minimum to get by. Little transparency among admin and HR. HQ provides some online development options but management are rare to provide actual time/support to staff wanting to take part. Difficult work-life balance as internal expectation is that you will continually go above and beyond your role.
