Pros

Dedicated staff who really believed in the mission of supporting youth and closing the job gap.

Cons

Started to feel like a glorified staffing agency due to the organizations over focus on fees they would get from corporations that provided internships to the students we served. Also could use more focus on influencing companies on welcoming and accepting the students for who they were as they continued to grow and build a professional brand.

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!
