Pros

Collaborative environment, meaningful work, high energy culture. Competitive salary and benefits for the field. Passionate and skilled individuals work here.

Cons

Executive Director needs more training on how to lead handling internal and external management issues, and have a genuine, consistent focus on people and team. Work life balance is tough for this organization, but they are making it a focus; consistency across managers here will benefit the organization and staff overall.

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!
