Pros

Nice base staff believing that they are changing the world.

Cons

Poor leadership. Driving change through fear. The only reward comes as a result of loyalty, regardless of the need for change. Senior staff paid extremely well for a nonprofit, General Managers 200,000 plus and CEO(GS) 400,000 plus. Staff is underpaid based on job descriptions and market place.

Working with the grassroots Rotarians was wonderful. Working with mid-level, overpaid, mediocre managers was abusive

Pros

The goals and projects sponsored by RI and thousands of local Rotary clubs around the world are amazing and awe inspiring. They do numerous good works, yet do not receive much media and public attention for them, particularly in the U.S. How many organizations can claim to have done the lion's share of work---and provided financial contributions---necessary to eradicate a disease/polio?? Rotarians deserves much credit for this accomplishment, as well as their numerous other good deeds.

Cons

Often, staff that becomes too close to the Rotarian members---in the course of doing their best job possible--- are considered a threat by the majority of the-managers, who stick together and protect each other in somewhat of a high school/clique-like atmosphere. This includes workplace bullying, and intentionally manipulative and negative annual reviews to justify the termination of many excellent employees.
