      Pros

      Helping students succeed. And great organizational model and a national base of training and support Resources are readily available, as are people who have great knowledge to share

      Cons

      Time management can be difficult. You wear many different hats, and it can be tricky to balance giving services with completing paperwork. However, it's worth it!

      Great mission, not well implemented

      Pros

      I worked in the central office and the great thing about this organization was the potential to be serving a great cause. Also, since the work is on the school campuses, vacation and paid time off was off the charts compared to other for-profit and non-profits organizations.

      Cons

      Let's just say this place could use a major overhaul with respects to its focus, leadership, and how it gets the word out to others about the good work they are doing on the campuses. The culture is highly inflexible, not open to new ideas, and antithetical to change. I mean NOTHING changes. When there are problems, you have a meeting and complain about it. You might even start a year or 2 long process to try to change it, and then ultimately nothing changes. There is also a lot of gossipy maliciousness between departments that's headed up by department heads not playing nicely together. It's a very stressful environment. And if you're not senior administration, you haven't got a chance to make an impact or have your voice be heard.
