Success and happiness at international headquarters depends on direct supervisor

Pros

At HFHI (Habitat's headquarters), you feel a part of inspiring work. Staff surveyed on strategic planning process. It is a prayer-oriented work culture, so some meetings begin with a spiritual reading (which could be a con for some people, but I will list it as a pro). You might be able to work remotely, at least occasionally, depending on manager and team. Good benefits and vacation. One week paid time off for "mission" work after one year of service, to attend a home build/repair in the U.S. or abroad or with another organization.

Cons

Salaries tend to be lower than at comparable international NGOs. Leadership is hit and miss, as with any organization, with some good and others not strong or competent.

Pros

One of the best things about working for Habitat is helping people purchase homes that otherwise would not be able to do so.

Cons

There were several issues working at Habitat. One is that they didn't often promote from within the organization. Another issue is that it seems that most people within the organization just want to maintain the status quo. It is just as if Habitat International exists just so the people who work there can have jobs.
