Vantaggi
- Worked with an awesome team that was incredibly talented - Great staff development and I felt appreciated on a general level - World Help excels at reminding employees that they are valued and their work matters (but it starts to feel fake once you work with upper management one-on-one) - Great vacation time - Overall friendly, kind coworkers - You felt like your work was making a difference, and some employees even got to go out into the field and see donations at work - Best team environment I've ever had
Svantaggi
- Unless you had no opinion and never questioned anything, you weren't a good fit. Total followers were rewarded, anyone who questioned the ethics of their job or suggested change was told to put their head down and do their job - I never had enough work to do and felt guilty about the donor money that went toward my paycheck, but when I brought it up with management they insisted I do only the work they'd planned on the timetable they'd designed, so I was bored frequently - Not much room for advancement - One of their core values is "total transparency" but I was specifically instructed to make information vague for donors - World Help is essentially a middle man in the humanitarian game, so donors give World Help money, and that money goes towards organizations on the field. What was weird was that we would often spin our partner's stories to make it sound like World Help specifically was on the ground doing things, when in reality it was our partners doing the work - Upper management were often extremely difficult to work with and outright rude--"diva" is the best word to describe them - Upper management constantly spins the narrative that "World Help staff is a family", but it didn't feel like family when you were treated like a cog in the machine - The tactics used to raise money felt morally questionable at times. Felt like we were selling poverty porn to make people give
