Pros

Very nice staff, good culture, tons of free benefits for students

Cons

Not transparent around intern placement Not transparent around pay, until last week Not transparent around schedule until after orientation Out of touch with job market needs TON of bloat classes that are not necessary/redundant - e.g. CDIR classes, Internship Readiness classes, Kickoff/Forum having tons of overlapping content Tone deaf towards genuine concerns about instructors / iffy courses

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!
