Pros

Great students, mission, and some colleagues are great to work with.

Cons

Constant changes and restructuring leading to consistent layoffs. There is a toxic culture and clear favoritism. People feel very entitled and as a result are very disrespectful.

Pros

- Competitive compensation - Excellent organizational leadership, passion, and culture - Programs really make a difference in the students' lives

Cons

Any new site comes with some growing pains and so we are still figuring some things out as we go. Could use a little more direction or "best practices" from other sites or leadership. But again, these things come with any new sites!
