Pros
There are still a lot of wonderful, hard-working, and experienced professionals working at ACDI/VOCA. It has a wealth of experience and used to have a good working culture. It has great benefits, a respect for work-life balance and a convenient and recently-renovated office space.
Cons
It is losing its experienced staff rapidly for a number of reasons but most have to do with its management approach and a negative work environment. Few people are putting in the extra effort because an individual's work is no longer recognized nor will it help them achieve their professional goals. People lack confidence in their managers and are frustrated with the way in which the restructuring has affected their job. This is happening at all levels and it trickles down. Unfortunately, if ACDI/VOCA does not win more bids, there will be even fewer opportunities and dissatisfaction will intensify. The CEO and top leadership is completely disconnected with the organization, oblivious to these concerns, and has taken a very inflexible approach that is not responsive and does not allow people to work at their highest capacity or incentive them.
