Pros

some offices gets to get off early like 2pm

Cons

Leadership is toxic and unprofessional. My supervisor made inappropriate and belittling comments toward me, which created a hostile work environment. HR and the board of directors are ineffective — they seem more interested in protecting leadership than addressing serious issues. Zero accountability when staff raise concerns; complaints are brushed off or covered up. Poor boundaries and lack of respect for employees’ well-being. My nervous system was constantly on edge while working here. No meaningful career growth or professional development opportunities.

Pros

Great coworkers and team - felt very supported by the team, and coordinators did their absolute best.

Cons

Work itself gets very stressful and overwhelming. It can get hard, emotional, sometimes thankless. You have to really, really want to work with and be comfortable supporting youth. High burnout and turnover.

Pros

Nice people, loved working with kids.

Cons

Pretty physical, have to be able to spot kids safely, so strength is a neccesity.
