Good company to work for right out of uni but not long-term - Anonymous employee GVI Employee Review

- Salaries are very low, at all levels (in the field) - Many people work unpaid and are not even offered health insurance - Wage gap between international and local staff. Local staff are not valued. - Most of those at the top are white males - A lot of the expenses are covered using charitable funds. Volunteer's fees cover the office and for-profit side of the business, not much of the community development/conservation work. There is a document online that says "Where the Money Goes"- this is untrue and needs updating. - Volunteers and international staff take jobs from locals - Always running out of money, leaving the field teams to deal with high levels of stress and unpaid bills - The field teams live in extremely basic and sometimes unsanitary conditions. - Working hours are around 80/week if you work directly in the field. The salary averages out to about 3 USD an hr for starter staff. - During the pandemic, GVI let 90% of their field staff go, with no severance or financial help to fly home.
