      Wouldn't do it again - Development Specialist Winrock International Employee Review

      Pros

      There are some good people working there and there is an opportunity to get your foot in the door in development (since turnover is so high.)

      Cons

      Arrogant and ineffective mid-to-senior level management. Self-promotion rewarded more highly than effective work. (You'll run into some extreme personalities.) HR and some ops functions not very together. Communication between departments would make things run more smoothly. Salaries and benefits not that great, so you will run into a lot of unhappy people.

      Pros

      Exceptional CEO and CFOO and great staff. While these are trying times in the International Development Sector, Winrock will get through this phase to grow again and help communities around the world.

      Cons

      Reduction in Donor budgets is impacting all organizations in the sector, so there may be less employment opportunities and tight budgets.

      Pros

      The benefits are really good, maybe the best around, which keeps US staff in golden handcuffs. Program staff and lower to mid-level ops staff are amazing people trying to do good work in the world.

      Cons

      Winrock is where passionate, mission-driven people lose their fire for the work and ultimately leave because they just can’t take it anymore. Executive leadership is completely out of touch with the reality of the communities they are supposed to be serving. Everything is about “new business”, not mission or impact. It’s a sad state.
