Pros

One can learn a lot with sealed lips

Cons

In an organization and particularly in the emergency programme like Polio ,it’s the manager who can get a below average worker deliver outstanding and it’s a manager who can make an outstanding worker below average. Outstanding organizations provide conducive and professional environment to their employees, and with grief and sorrow I wish to inform you that the same is getting worst in this organization. Favoritism, autocratic culture and job insecurity is actively prevailing which is resulting in demotivating the employees. Dirty politics is going on. low competency females have given an un due edge because of their closeness to the programme manager. Managers think that they have hired the staff as their personal servants. Admin head leading the technical staff.

Pros

Opportunities to contribute to improvements in global health (although all too rare due to poor management). Relatively good salaries and benefits while the job lasts.

Cons

Managers are mainly interested in personal agendas. Very little innovation. Stifling management practices. Job security is quickly eroding. Merit counts for nothing.

Pros

In priniciple, staff have opportunity to influence international and national policies and practices affecting preventive and curative health in countries at every level of social and economic development.

Cons

In practice, decision making is highly centralized, innovation is not encouraged, and staff spend a great deal of time in inefficient administrative tasks.
