      Free Room and Board

      Resident mentor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The main pro is that as Mentors we received free room and board. Interacting with people and a few other small privileges such as early enrollment.

      Cons

      Poor communication and organization. Bad leadership and incompetence. The structure of the organization is archaic and does little to actually serve the community it is trying to engage with and instead just worries more about looking good on paper.
