Amazing Nonprofit (albeit with growing pains)

Pros

Surrounded by passionate, smart, interesting, fun co-workers. Year Up attracts so many different types of people and everyone is truly bought into the mission. At its best, it's an upbeat, rewarding place to work.

Cons

As Year Up has grown, it's in danger of getting bogged down by administration and bureaucracy and buying into the idea that the only sign of a hard worker is someone who is stretched thin and always busy, busy, busy.

Year Up NCR- A Sinking Ship

Anonymous employee

Pros

- Benefits and PTO - Making a real difference in students' lives

Cons

YU NCR is on a downward spiral to failure. Since the Executive Director has taken over, more and more staff members are leaving each month. They are CLEARLY running away and will no longer stay due to all of the constant changes. No recognition is given to staff members when they go above and beyond at their job. If the opportunity for promotions are available, current staff members are overlooked, and managers do not provide training to ensure their members are eligible to move up. The ED does not seem to really care about the staff, and her interactions with staff come off as phony or disingenuous.
