Pros
I worked at CanadaHelps for a few years and it was an amazing experience. I loved my job because it was meaningful, interesting and challenging. For me, it was inspiring to be constantly surrounded by people in the nonprofit sector who are making a big difference in the world.
The pace was fast and that's important for making the kinds of big changes that are needed in the charitable sector. There's no doubt that CanadaHelps has made a whole lot of progress in a short amount of time. Just ask any of the charities or donors it serves.
If you're up for a challenge and you want to work in a place where you're actually making a big difference, learning all the time, and surrounded by intelligent, big-hearted people, then this organization could be for you.
It's probably not for you if you prefer routine, a static job that is the same everyday, and if you're not willing to be flexible or step outside your comfort zone.
