Pros

Excellent leadership, great mission, work hard and never give up, makes a real difference in the lives of urban young adults, super bright and motivated co-workers, an exciting time to work at the organization as it was beginning to have a national impact. Valued each contribution - not a lot of hierarchy. Fair pay and excellent benefits - especially for a non-profit.

Cons

The organization did not always recognize the talent that existed within and looked to new hires when there were others who could have moved up and taken on the challenge and opportunity.

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!
