Making a difference with vision and caring

Pros

Excellent leadership, great mission, work hard and never give up, makes a real difference in the lives of urban young adults, super bright and motivated co-workers, an exciting time to work at the organization as it was beginning to have a national impact. Valued each contribution - not a lot of hierarchy. Fair pay and excellent benefits - especially for a non-profit.

Cons

The organization did not always recognize the talent that existed within and looked to new hires when there were others who could have moved up and taken on the challenge and opportunity.

Pros

Invested in developing staff members and promoting growth within the organization. Amazing CEO! Cares a lot about his employees

Cons

Can be selective on who they develop and how. Does not seem like everyone is granted the same opportunities.
