Pros

Felt like I was making an impact

Cons

Frustrating work environment. Managers would micromanage and infantilize corps members. Often asked to handle student situations that required a trained mental health professional.

Pros

You do very meaningful work and the staff truly care about you and what you are doing.

Cons

School placements can be quite far from where you live, and the days are long (7:30 am - 5 pm). Often is exhausting, but you stay for the kids.
