Pros

The people below lower management are amazing to work with.

Cons

Senior management is lacking in intelligence and far too high in numbers. Winrock continues to hire senior management personnel. To pay for these individuals, they lay off lower staff members and have their current staff do the job of two 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.
