Program Manager, Non-Profit Organization Reviews
What is it like working as a Program Manager, Non-Profit Organization?
July 2022
Good PTO after length of service.
Program Manager, Non-Profit Organization in Honolulu:
Pros: Good PTO for employees 5-9 years of service. Flexibility. Ability to work remote.
Cons: Endured years and years of disfunctional department management and overwork at HMSA and should have left the company a long time ago, however, I've recently reached maximum PTO accrual (at 9 years of service) and it's an incentive to stay as I recover from pandemic burnout. I have been asking to manage staff of my own for over 2 years and told no. I have been asking to create a job/role for myself and told no. Career trajectory /path to move up is unclear and I cannot see opportunity beyond my next project. Difficult learning curve to transfer between departments or lines of business. Lack of transparency around compensation and HR processes.
July 2022
Very challenging, engaging but offers a wealth of room for growth.
Program Manager, Non-Profit Organization in Juba:
Pros: I love to see hopeless, devastated and displaced people recover from such man-made and environmental shocks see hope again by providing them with clean water, sanitation, hygiene and health services.
Cons: Lack of opportunities to grow up the professional ladder.
June 2022
Wearing a lot of hats in one role, but is can be fulfilling when everything works out!
Program Manager, Non-Profit Organization in Brooklyn:
Pros: I am trusted to do the work I'm given to do, and I can share my ideas and opinions openly woth my director.
Cons: Because it is nonprofit, a lot of work is placed on the few employees working and it can mean overtime most of the time.
June 2022
Great opportunity to work in international development, working with national research organizations, impacting small farmers.
Program Manager, Non-Profit Organization in Manhattan:
Pros: Working with ag-related organizations in international development
Cons: The pay is not commensurate with my skillset; however, this was discussed when I joined. I knew that I would be using this position for development, and they would be getting someone with a higher skillset than the pay suggest.
May 2022
Overloaded with work.
Program Manager, Non-Profit Organization in Los Angeles:
Pros: Overloaded with work without any help, no benefits and underpaid.
Cons: At NEW-WBC Women's Business Center, some co-workers aren't educated nor trained enough to be respectful and empathetic. Some are rude and practice hypocrisy.
May 2022
The best place to live. A tough place to work.
Program Manager, Non-Profit Organization in Fort Collins:
Pros: The community and strong relationships
Cons: Working for a mega church
January 2022
Rewarding, but stressful.
Program Manager, Non-Profit Organization in Greensburg:
Pros: Getting to know the children
Cons: My pay. I don't believe (from a few generalized comments I've heard) that my hourly rate is close to that of my co-workers. I do know that I have more experience and more education than most, as some are high school students or recent graduates.
