      Organization does great work, but doesn't offer much room for advancement.

      Pros

      This is a great organization for individuals looking to make a difference in the world. They do amazing work in third-world countries and focus on issues affecting children - HIV/Aids, poverty, lack of education, etc.

      Cons

      Despite doing amazing work, this is not a place for someone looking for promotions or advancements. Salaries are also lower than the for-profit world and also compared to some other not-for-profit organizations. Middle and senior management is very mission focused and not employee focused. My department's director actually had the gall to give our team Holiday cards with a note saying that she donated money to WVI in lieu of giving each one of us a gift or holiday lunch!

      Pros

      Program staff are competent and highly committed. The benefits are relatively good (vacation, health, etc...) and there's a good work life balance. Staff are treated with respect and allowed a relative amount of freedom to work as they see fit (choose their own hours, work at home upon occassion). Mid-level managers are generally people with field (international) experience and understand how to get things done overseas. Program people are organized into teams (private funding, public funding, food grants, emergencies, etc..) which generally function well with a good sense of teamwork. Opportunities for training are numerous as well as support for outside education.

      Cons

      The organization has a very flat structure which provides little room for advancement. Most of the staff are program or finance with extensive international experience, who are organized into teams led by a team leader. Team leaders basically feed information to senior management and do very little actual management. Senior management is mostly busy counting beans and trying to keep the marketing/development people happy as they carry the most weight in the overall organization. WV is a very bureaucratic organization and makes decisions very slowly. Senior management rarely listens to program staff which leads them to make poor decisions concerning the organization and management of the office.
