The best job I've ever had

Pros

I chose to work for Upstream because of the incredible mission doing something no other group in the country is doing. Little did I know I would end up working for the best run nonprofit I have ever been a part of. Real focus on results, incredible support from supervisors, lots of room for growth, really kind and talented team.

Cons

Be sure that you are ok taking on unexpected projects and doing work beyond your job description. As a fast-growing nonprofit, you have to be able to keep up with things moving and changing quickly.
