Pros
Head Start and CAP are both great causes that have helped thousands of people across the Salt Lake Valley. The provide services nobody else does and the staff that deals directly with the 'clients' are the most outstanding, caring people you will ever come across. They TRULY care about the outcomes and their role in achieving those outcomes. The program, as it's meant to work, is superb.
Cons
The Management staff. The director has zero business running across the road, much less running this business unchecked. Sure she has a great background in education. But it stops there. She is so far removed from the cause of the organization that she couldn't run it effectively. She not only has no people skills (unless there is a camera around), but she repels staff and those who work under her - with the exception of the directors she's surrounded herself with. They have a GREAT time - on Head Start's dime. The things I've seen on the back-end as to where they spend money would make every grant be pulled immediately if they weren't so good at covering tracks. SO sad that they run this like their own personal club - even using the food services department to cater personal parties and some directors use the Head Start classroom as their own personal daycare (who cares if it causes one less child in need to take that spot). It's disgusting and we all wish the board would look past the engaging smile of the director and find out what they've really been doing.
