      Pros

      Mission, students. Decent pay for nonprofit

      Cons

      Favoritism - in/out group dynamic. Leadership can often overreach, horde all decision-making power, not be transparent -- this slows things down and prevents people from doing their jobs. And disempowers people/reduces morale

      Pros

      Love working here; commitment to DEI and supporting students toward job opportunity and economic agency; everyone I work with is really smart and passionate and good at what they do

      Cons

      Can be hard to take time off despite decent PTO package; upper leadership doesn't seem to trust or value the feedback of the people doing direct work with students; after big layoffs early 2026, a lot of us are working extra hard and would appreciate some grace and understanding and flexibility from leadership
