There is a lot of care taken while mentoring staff and a lot of efforts put into the growth and training. It is a transparent organisation and also if people want correct feedback for learning and growth this is the best place to be. CWS also pays better than many other NGOs in the same space and is led by a very strong leadership team which promises and delivers

If you choose to work in the field, you will have the opportunity to work with both children and community. Yearly leadership trainings for the staff is one excellent program. They do multiple workshop on POSH trainings. Salary is on time. Director is good to field people.

Starting a new job can be stressful especially if the work environment is toxic. fields can be even more daunting if Manager is total lazy and has no basic ethics. As an employee, I had the pleasure of working under a good and director who made sure to create a positive and supportive atmosphere for all of us. However, my experience with the managers responsible for the education program was completely different. These individuals lacked work ethics and seemed to be disconnected from the realities of their field. What was even more concerning was the apparent gender bias within the team. Sadly in our field station, there were, (who still are in organization)men who have a complete disregard for hygiene. This is not just a small issue, but one that is prevalent enough to be recognized by female field workers who can provide multiple examples evidences of such behavior. However, it is disheartening to note that despite numerous complaints, these men continue to neglect their hygiene without any change in their behavior. The reason for this could be attributed to the fact that they are often perceived as being nice to their managers or superiors, giving them a certain level of impunity. This not only creates an uncomfortable and unsanitary work environment for their female colleagues, but also reflects a lack of respect and consideration for basic hygiene standards. Coordinator: It was a frustrating experience to work with a coordinator who lacked the necessary credentials and expertise in wildlife and environment. Despite being a part of a big wildlife organization, this coordinator had zero knowledge and no interest in these areas, yet was leading the program.It was disheartening to see them spreading half-cooked and false information to children and communities. It is concerning to think that such individuals can represent a reputable wildlife organization and it raises questions about their hiring process. Working with someone who lacks passion and knowledge about the subject matter can be traumatic, especially when they are responsible for educating others. On top of that imagine this guy don't do the data work.! And take all the credits for the work done by team. No matter how hard a person works, whether male or female, the rules set by managers for leading teams are completely different here. gender discrimination still exists in the workplace. Even though women may work just as hard or even harder than their male counterparts, they are often treated differently and held to higher standards. Managers don't even visits the field properly. Even if they visit they visit more Temples than actual field and their one on one sessions are just a gossiping sessions. managers often engage in negative and toxic conversations behind the back of their director and seniors. And yes they talk shit about Director their yearly reviews are total joke. Even after so many resignations, it is evident director doesn't know the toxicity of managers or chooses to turn a blind eye to the issue....Read More

Starting my journey as a full time (post college) has been an enriching experience, particularly in understanding the workings of the conservation space. I've been lucky to have experienced mentors who taught me a lot. Leveraging my writing and design abilities, I've honed my skills in responsible communication practices. However, the highlight has been the individuals I've encountered within the CWS team. Their support and diverse personalities have been invaluable sources of learning and friendship. Working within a compact team structure has afforded me into various facets of media and communication, for which I am thankful....Read More
