Pros

This company has a great mission and great benefits. The mission itself will get you excited about working at Year Up.

Cons

Leadership is horrible, there are a lot of unethical things happening at this site ( with students and staff). When you complain to the National office nothing happens. It is the worst place to work. This organization should not be on the "Best Non Profits to work for" list. The ED is a horrible leader which is why retention is low. The staff is not happy and aren't treated right. The only reason people stay is to help the young adults.

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!
