Pros

This organization defines mission-driven perfectly. Every employee, Intern, volunteer, and board member is passionate about the mission of providing life-changing education opportunities to low-income high-achieving students. Organization works well as a team and works cross-functionally on a regular basis. Work life balance is great! There are cycles of long hours, but this company is respectful and encouraging of employee's personal lives and responsibilities.

Cons

Pay is low for the area, but high for other non-profits Needs encouragement to adopt new technologies Better decision making in the recruiting and interview process

Pros

You work with amazing students who are inspiring.

Cons

This organization claims to center equity, but in practice, it rewards performative allyship, curated aesthetics, and fitting into a certain mold. Promotions overwhelmingly go to folks who fit that mold—many of whom have never been first-generation or low-income, and have zero lived experience that reflects the students and communities this organization supposedly exists to serve. Meanwhile, staff who actually come from those backgrounds and who bring depth, insight, and hard-earned understanding, are sidelined, exploited, or made invisible. Loyalty is taken for granted. Experience is devalued. And calling any of this out will quietly cost you your place at the table. This is not a merit-based organization. It’s a curated club that protects its image above all else. If you don’t fit the mold, you will not be supported, promoted, or truly seen, no matter how long you stay or how hard you work. Enter with caution. And don't confuse their language for their practice.
