They are running a scam.

Recommend CEO Approval Business Outlook Pros

None. If you have any morals whatsoever you will not help these people line their own pockets with money they take from trusting but naive and dirt-poor Americans

Cons

I made a huge mistake taking this job. I was fooled by their supposed humanitarian mission and I quit when I found out where the money was really going. Don't make the same mistake: Before deciding to work here or donating to this reprehensible organization, please watch the documentary "Til Kingdom Come" on PBS to see how they scam poor rural Christians. Watching the CEO smirk as she smugly asserts that "Christians and Jews share the same beliefs -- until end times..." is truly sickening. And keep in mind that she makes more than $600,000 a year. Shame on you and everyone who works for you. Oh, and before you even think about donating, go take a look at their ridiculously expensive new offices, taking up an entire floor of a swanky high-rise overlooking Lake Michigan and downtown Chicago. While most companies have embraced working from home for productivity and cost savings, the IFCJ has doubled-down on living high on the hog on donor's money.

Needs better leadership

Mar 4, 2022 - Anonymous Employee

Recommend CEO Approval Business Outlook Pros

- Great people (excluding leadership) - Competitive salary and benefits for a non-profit (though not as good as they'll tell you, you can find better) - Occasionally meaningful mission (Ukrainian Holocaust survivors definitely need help, but most of the immigration program is giving free airplane tickets to educated professionals who make more than the donors, not to mention all the money given to soldiers for "therapeutic" ping pong tables and Xboxes)

Cons

- CEO makes $600,000 a year but asks the ministry to pay to renovate her attic and paint her house. - COO says cost-to-raise-a-dollar limits spending on needed headcount but spends who knows how much on a new office design with textured 3D wall treatments including a faux Western Wall. - Too many others to count including a "manage through meetings" mentality, popularity politics (favoring people who previously worked with the COO at Save the Children), a "yes" culture (only the CEO and COO are allowed to say no), remote work options for new hires (current staff are regularly discouraged from requesting this, though some of the "favorites" still got it), "restructuring" mass layoffs, even dismissing staff on disability.
