Pluspunten

The day-to-day employees that are Frontline are extremely compassionate. Middle management for employment, resettlement, education, and immigration are dedicated and caring. The benefits are outstanding and the organization does a wonderful job on the international stage.

Minpunten

The upper management come into the job having never worked with individuals with the refugee status. They are unable to manage programs sufficiently without this experience. The nepotism is unmatched, and is evident in all areas of the office. This is known but remains unchanged. The multitude of complaints go un addressed by headquarters and human resources. The current political climate is very uncertain and the local office has had complete departments shut down with little warning. As is true with many companies, the work life balance is talked about, but not practiced. Many employees have worked tirelessly, at times, into the late night, with no acknowledgement and then reminded to practice self-care. This is due to the absence of an understanding of roles and workloads by upper management.

Pluspunten

You will meet some amazing and passionate people here who are truly there for the mission. Many came to this country as refugees and immigrants themselves and continue to devote their lives to helping others going through similar experiences. If you end up on the right team, it's an extremely rewarding job.

Minpunten

Unfortunately, the HQ upper management makes it a toxic place to work. VPs regularly undercut each other publicly (including at all-team meetings and gossiping negatively with staff), especially when potential job cuts were on the horizon. C-Suite didn't listen to staff concerns about upper management and didn't investigate major departures by dedicated staff who left due to poor management despite their dedication to the mission. Leaders picked favorites, ignoring work performance (excusing mediocre performance in some, having high standards for others), and preferred yes-men over staff who wanted to think more critically about the work. Projects were pushed too quickly, despite concerns that it could be detrimental to clients. Positions given to unqualified internal staff who wouldn't be interviewed for the role as external candidates. Senior leaders (director and above) are more focused on keeping their jobs than the mission and will use lower staff work for their own career growth/safety. DEI didn't seem to apply for senior leader roles, where there was little, if any, diversity.
