Pros

Fantastic people, incredible amount of responsibility for interns, lots of trust and honesty - incredible skills development and firsthand knowledge of the resettlement process. Great place to learn how to prioritize and plan. Many interns get hired.

Cons

Turnover is huge, morale low, pay apparently quite low (interns are unpaid), and they have no money to replace employees who leave. Standard ngo problems, can't pay for what they're trying to do. Also experience depends on your department and direct supervisors, bad stories from other interns.

Pros

IRC Baltimore has a fantastic staff, with client relationships strongly emphasized. The staff is incredibly patient with interns, and everyone works as a team. Great, friendly group that is 100% dedicated to the cause, no one cuts corners here!

Cons

The office is severely understaffed and it's stressful working environment if you're not accustomed to the field. Because the work is incredibly difficult, mentally and emotionally, it can become difficult to maintain a good work/life balance, which becomes that much more essential to your sanity. If not you will burnout, quickly.
