Pros

Great mission helping in Africa

Cons

Super dissapointed in the management. Hired me only to let me go 3 months after because they changed their minds on the vendor to use. I was disposable. They terminated me on the same day without explanation or a moment for me to ask questions. What happened to it being a Christian organization?
