Pros

There are definitely some chapters in the organization's national network that provide great afterschool programming to students. Even those that are just providing mediocre programming benefit at least some of their students by providing access to opportunities they wouldn't otherwise have (e.g., field trips).

Cons

As a member of the national office, I felt like employees were not valued, hard work was not recognized or acknowledged, and there was a dearth of strong/supportive leadership in multiple departments. In my experience, this organization is very generous in its assessment of itself as a provider of afterschool programming; the thing they're actually good at is raising money and talking about how great they are.

Pros

The vision of the program, it's overall reach, and the children in the communities. The opportunities it gives the kids really is great. The kids are the only good thing. The place makes impact when (if) it's done correctly.

Cons

The NY leadership is absolutely horrible. Their staff turnover is the craziest thing to ever be witnessed !!!! There's tons of nepotism!!! It's about who is the favorite, and who is gunna follow what they say and not question it. It's basically led by a mean girls group. They don't like people who speak up or question them. And if they don't like YOU they'll make sure you know it and feel it up until you either quit or they find the quickest opportunity to get rid of you. HR is just as bad so don't even think about going there unless you just want to expedite your unemployment or just be dismissed acting like you're crazy for even considering speaking They don't train you but expect you to do and know a whole bunch of things It's actually ridiculous how much they preach and sell these dreams and paint the pretty picture but can be so disgusting to adults and work with KIDS. Can't speak for other chapters, but this ones got major problems. I'd be shocked if they lasted another 5 years.
