      Great Mission, Poor Leadership

      Pros

      Working with young adults and co-workers. Benefits were good until they changed them in 2020.

      Cons

      Leadership is terrible. It is an abusive work environment. They expect you to give up your whole life for Year Up. They play favorites and use race as a weapon. They promote unqualified internal candidates and treat many others as if they don't matter. They talk about Core Values, but do not live up to them.

      Year Up is phony

      Pros

      The benefits are great.

      Cons

      I have worked at Year Up NCR for about a year. It is one of the worst places to work for. The site has made so many changes that are impacting the students in a negative way. The executive director is unethical at times. Staff members don't have the same experience level and just shouldn't be working there. Students that graduate don't come back. Before YearUp made these changes it was a great place to work.

      Building the Bridge of Closing the Opportunity Divide

      Pros

      This is a program that helps really talented young adults gain the skills they need to really start building out their careers in corporate america. Majority of the staff are bought into and really care about the mission of the program. Really competitive non-profit salary and really amazing benefits ( better than some for profit companies). The core values of the company are a really great set of guiding principles to work and live by. The students that come through the program will inspire you everyday and it make it so easy to want to come to work. Working here gives you the opportunity to help change someone's life.

      Cons

      Feedback culture is not driven among staff is it is for students, we don't practice what we preach. It's hard to move up the ladder unless you know the right people. Lack of diversity among senior leadership team. New roles within the organization are almost never announced for people that may have the skill set to apply for the roles; these roles are usually given to people because of who they know.
