Pros

The best work experience I have ever had. Most companies speak to a mission but at Year Up you literally feel the mission everyday. The culture is extremely nurturing. I study business for a living and have never been big on non-profits as the best catalyst for change, largely because many run inefficiently and also band-aid issue as opposed to fixing them. Year Up however is an incredibly smart organization. They teach their students how to fish. The culture is incredible and the anchor to its success. You will grow as a person in this position.

Cons

The pay isn't the highest but you know that coming into to the non-profit world. Because of the autonomy, the organization's success, as well as an individual's personal experience, varies from site to site depending on the leadership.

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!
