I don't regret it, but I wouldn't recommend it - Corps Member City Year Employee Review

Unlivable pay makes it incredible difficult for people to serve without familial financial support Incredibly long hours with very little forgiveness around it Cliquey hierarchical groups form quickly among corpsmembers and make a lot of drama Doesn't practice what it preaches re: self care, DBIE, belief in the power of young people A few "bad egg" staff members really soured a lot of the experience and the response to reasonable complaints from corpsmembers was not ideal
