Pros

Good mission that gives students plenty of resources for life / situation improvement

Cons

High turnover, inconsistent kitchen leadership, and advancement is not encouraged. Pacific Tower venue is a nightmare for catered events. The kitchen and event space are on 2 separate floors and food is often prepared offsite despite having a fully functional kitchen.

Pros

You can make trauma bonds with your coworkers!

Cons

FareStart cares more about image, numbers, and getting bodies through their doors more than the lives of their students. They have inequitable hiring and promoting practices. Every employee that works in Programs department is miserable.
