Pros
The staff is very nice The mission of the organization is great Extra time off around the holidays Good insurance coverage
Cons
Lots of micromanaging The Sr. Director of Programs lives in Nebraska. She runs all programs that take place in IL. There is an enormous disconnect between expectations and the reality of programming. The program staff is the heart of the organization, and no matter what, they are told they are not doing enough. Pay is not great No matter the position you are hired for - Counselor, Dietitian, Manager - you will be planning and executing multiple events throughout the year. So you don't get to fully grow into your area of expertise because you are pulled in so many directions They claim to have a lot of opportunities for career growth and team development, but this is not accurate. They advertise a gym for staff in job descriptions but again, not accurate. You are love-bombed when you first start. Making you feel like you have just landed the best job in the world. Things will eventually change.
