Pros

CEO is great! He encourages work life balance because it seems most of KIPP Foundation employees are "A" type and work day and night. No excuses, get-it-done attitude. Very smart and hard working group of people. Competitive salary. great benefits. very nice people.

Cons

becoming bureacratic. top heavy. Policy change takes away cash payout for excess PTO. Use or lose vacation time seems unfair. Work piles up because and there is a need to work outside of normal work hours to get it all done. Sometimes I have to work during PTO because work goes on relentlessly.
