Pros

social atmosphere friendly staff great mission The company is large and has been expanding rapidly; so there are plenty of opportunities to wear lots of different hats and contribute to the greater mission in some way.

Cons

The company is large, and collaboration across different cities/sites has been weak. They keep reinventing the wheel. While the intended mission of Year Up is good, the execution is poor. The rules (dress code, demerits policy, personality tests, etc.) are flawed and used without a grain of salt (but whole heartedly).

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!
