Pros
The goals and projects sponsored by RI and thousands of local Rotary clubs around the world are amazing and awe inspiring. They do numerous good works, yet do not receive much media and public attention for them, particularly in the U.S. How many organizations can claim to have done the lion's share of work---and provided financial contributions---necessary to eradicate a disease/polio?? Rotarians deserves much credit for this accomplishment, as well as their numerous other good deeds.
Cons
Often, staff that becomes too close to the Rotarian members---in the course of doing their best job possible--- are considered a threat by the majority of the-managers, who stick together and protect each other in somewhat of a high school/clique-like atmosphere. This includes workplace bullying, and intentionally manipulative and negative annual reviews to justify the termination of many excellent employees.
