Not very well-organized & managed organization - Seasonal Program Coordinator AFS Intercultural Programs Employee Review

Pros

Everyone that works there is very friendly, the office is huge and has a great view of the East River. The occasional after work office party makes it a little easier to get to know people in the office, since it's so large.

Cons

AFS relies way too heavily on their "Seasonal" employees, who basically have almost all of the same responsibilities as the full timers, except they get paid $14 hourly and are somewhat treated as a "less than" employee for being only a temporary hire. AFS constantly has seasonals, but I assume they do not want to hire full-time employees to avoid paying those benefits. Hiring and training seasonals every 6 months or less is a huge time suck. Management wise, everything was very disorganized, and I don't think a lot of the people higher up had any idea what was going on "on the ground" most of the time.

Pros

passion for changing the world at the grass root level, feeling you make a difference with your work

Cons

NGOs never pay a livable wage, this office is located on Wall Street, yet doesn't even come close to the minimum wage to be able to rent an apartment in NYC.
