Pros

- Professional - Good people to work with - They really get you an Internship - Can be actually good for some (but overall is not ) - I actually liked the CEO (good and humble person)

Cons

Low pay, as a full-time student it's 100 dollar every TWO weeks (when you don't get any infraction). Even a minute late means -20 dollars or wearing the wrong shoes The Internship experience it's the worst and you don't even know if you will get hired. Towards the end of the whole program, you realize you wasted a whole year doing something for a useless certificate.

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!
