Pros

Someone needs to rescue this organization

Cons

The CEO is making huge strategic and operational changes just to try to make it look like he is a leader. He has no idea what the eventual impact will be. Massive change based on a suspicion. No substance. He spins his Board into thinking he knows what he is doing. A real CEO is needed. This one is a sham. Other leaders are minimally competent. Low salaries and everyone does multiple jobs. Favortism. Lip service to values. Enormous exodus after numerous attempts to convey concerns - groups wrote letters to Management expressing lack of confidence. Efforts by Management to address issues have entirely missed the point. A CEO with a huge ego and big salary spends most of his time at home. He seems to think no one notices he barely works or gets anything done. Everyone notices. Except the people he reports to - the Board. So unfortunate. Millions of people in needs and dollars spent going to waste.

Pros

Field work is positive

Cons

The office environment is very negative. Positive reviews on here have clearly been left by one internal HR employee. Management is sexist, non transparent and unavailable. Overall little guidance or direction provided. Organizations effectiveness and reputation decreasing day by day. The turnover is extremely high due to the poor management.

At Action Against Hunger USA we welcome diverse feedback, the positive, the negative and the constructive. It is indeed one of the reasons we have an employer account on Glassdoor to be able to have additional channels to interact with our thousands of staff globally, hear their voices and suggestions. We believe that dialogue, sharing of perspectives and opinions even when they may differ is important to make us grow as individuals, teams and as an organization. We do respect the views you have shared and regret that you had a negative experience working with us. Respectfully, we would like to offer a different perspective. Action Against Hunger USA employs thousands of dedicated humanitarian workers around the world who go the extra mile every day to make our programs and services to communities in need more effective. In fact in May this year we were again rated 4 stars out of 4 stars by Charity Navigator for our performance as a charitable organization. We have maintained this rating for 11 years. As many of our other colleagues have also commented on in their reviews Action Against Hunger like many other organizations is going through organizational change to adapt to the growing humanitarian needs, increasingly complex emergencies and rapidly changing operational context. Organizational change is never an easy endeavor to embark on neither for leadership or staff. Yet we believe it is necessary to prepare ourselves to become an organization fit for the future that is better able to serve the world’s most vulnerable. We would like to take this opportunity to wish you all the best in your future career path and hope you find an organization that is a right fit for you.
