Pros

You get to help students set goals and complete them.

Cons

Things changed when the new CEO came in and made changes good and mostly bad. There is no longer a focus for the best of the students. Numbers are a priority and pressure to enroll as much students whether the students wants to or not, as long as the numbers are high. I noticed many people quitting for this reason. Many workers that have dedicated their years for these students are now gone and are now hiring people with SALES experience, of course to keep the numbers up. really not the place to work anymore.

Great Mission, Not-So-Great Employer

Pros

Helping disenfranchised youth change their lives and improve their futures. Graduation Alliance affects a real difference in the lives of those less fortunate.

Cons

Strict focus on numbers, not students. Everything is about bringing in students and making sure they take their classes in order to get money from the districts: Enrollment counselors are heavily pressured to get students into the program, Academic coaches are encouraged to keep students working at all costs. This causes a huge amount of employee turnover. Upper management is entrenched and unchanged, no chance for advancement. They'd rather burn through employees rather than change their practices. They recently acquired another company, absorbed their assets and let go many "redundant" employees despite years of dedicated work. CEO is particularly and visibly unconcerned with the welfare of his employees.
