Pros

-Everyone is down to earth and are very supportive -Huge focus on mental health and professional development for every employee -Everyone here is aligned on the mission of helping college graduates overcome underemployment

Cons

The org is progressive in many areas, however work load and goal expectations are hard to keep up with as they're always growing and becoming irrational. It sucks that while there's a huge emphasis on mental health, the actual workload can make it feel hypocritical and impossible to achieve balance. Leadership will often feel like workers are complaining too much, but it's not that we don't want to do the work, keeping up with new demands will make it feel as if you're drowning sometimes. Everyone here works really hard but you'll find yourself questioning is it really worth putting your whole soul into this job just to get a quick kudos and then put back through the ringer once more.

Pros

Great community, giving back, helping end inequality and overcome unemployment for disadvantaged people, fostering friendships

Cons

Some coworkers are power-hungry. There aren’t any boundaries between students and teachers and that gets messy during hangouts. Operations are disorganized. Hours are late

Pros

You get free therapy if you jump at it in the beginning.

Cons

You don’t get free therapy if you decide to later. They’ll deny you. The culture is weird, clicky, and culty. Nobody can get employment in marketing even after completing the program, meaning COOP has failed their mission statement. They have too many kids per cohort that you become just another fish in the pond for their stats. Some team captains and PMs are condescending and have ruined prospects for students.
