Pros

Win, Build, Send. We are helping the youth that others give up on, we are helping the youth that others look down on, we are helping the youth that others say will not make it. All places have their stuff, but the impact we make each day is a blessing, and the company takes care of its people. In 35 years of being in the workforce I have never worked for a company that values its people. 401K, massive PTO, Sick time, and so much kindness. You show up, do your job, communicate, have the right mindset this is the place for you.

Cons

Policies, and procedures are not in full that can cause a little chaos, and at times working with others, or being over stimulated can suck, but nothing terrible.

Pros

I’ve had a very positive experience working here. The organization is deeply mission-driven and focused on making a meaningful impact for the students and communities it serves. The work can be challenging at times, but it is also incredibly rewarding because you can see the difference your efforts make in real time. One of the things I appreciate most is the collaborative culture. Team members genuinely want to help each other succeed, and there is a strong sense of shared purpose across departments. Leadership encourages innovation and is open to new ideas, which makes it a great environment for people who enjoy solving problems and improving systems.

Cons

Like many fast-growing organizations, priorities can shift quickly, which requires flexibility and adaptability Workloads can be busy during peak periods, but teams generally support each other through those times
