Communities In Schools Program Manager reviews

high caseload number, low pay, too many meetings

Where do I start? Going into this job CIS will sell you the dream of 'doing an amazing work as a non-profit' but you will quickly realize you are about to be underpaid, overworked, exploited and undersupported. As a PM, you can get guidance from your PD about how your campus culture is run but as far as thorough training and clear expectations of how you are supposed to run your program: THERE IS NONE. You are expected to set a campus plan and be able to follow it with little to no budget and expected to get everything donated. Then, all the PD's care about is the paperwork and data (which is completely unnecessary and redundent) You are expected to document every interaction with every student, case manage 78 students, record all their grades, attendance, behavior, every 6 weeks. It is exhausting and does not match the pay grade. Also, you are at the mercy whether your principal likes you or not. My admin was the pettiest, nasty group of admin ever and my PD KNEW THAT!! My PD also knew how disorganized my campus was and that admin was actively making it impossible for me to do my job and still did not have my back whatsoever. Completely would recommend you do not work for this wolf disguised as a sheep company.
