Pros

The students and the mission are awesome! The benefits and time off are terrific as well as the dedicated line staff. The site I worked in was great.

Cons

There is an Opportunity Divide within Year Up between the white management staff and the staff of color who are actually working everyday with the young adults. The color of your skin should not matter in an organization who is supposed to be for the disenfranchised/ people of color.

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!
