Pros

Good mission and purpose for existing (helping children)

Cons

Cult-like environment- controlling, invasive, campy, no freedom to challenge They make employees sign a code of conduct that says they can fire you if you get drunk, have premarital sex, live with the opposite gender if you're not married, or other behaviour they determine as bad.

We’re sorry to hear your time at Compassion didn’t end well. We strive to create an environment that is challenging, but also allows flexibility to learn and grow. In fact, we encourage staff to push against the norms, and challenge us to expand our boundaries. There are exceptions to that rule, however. Compassion is committed to remaining steadfast in our Christian principles. We believe strongly in God’s Word, and while societal norms may change, His Word does not. We are grateful for this constant, and the fact that we can rest in His promise that He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow (Hebrews 13:8) and never goes out of style.
