High hopes with unrelenting hard truths - Anonymous employee Cross-Cultural Solutions Employee Review

I met great people and saw how my work made an impact.

Involved for a limited time each day

Able to volunteer at their various home bases for free, the only fees are airfare, visa and any medical medication require to take be traveling. Company pays for single major medical, pay a small fee for dental and vision. The majority of the staff are friendly and caring. Work environment is casual.

Founder is easily persuaded by outsiders on how to increase volunteers, who pay a fee to volunteer in the countries the company has a home base, and then hiring that person at an outrageous compensation (this is suppose to be a Not For Profit Organization), even though the advise is not producing. This leads to every 2 years of the organization laying off staff and closing home bases, which the Founder acclaims to care about but sounds hallow since he is aware that he does not see the staff in the foreign country and the New York staff are mostly college grads, which is their first job.
