Organization wide department knowledge sharing, structure, transparency out of headquarters, ongoing improvement and reflection organization wide, culture in organization meetings permeates across locations, benefits are better than most nonprofits

Cons

Size of organization means each location operates differently. Location is silo operated, onboarding for administrative staff not adequate, location communication is protected and detrimental, location implements too many limitations and changes the organizational culture, location is in a high state of protectionism, conflicting messaging

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.
