Pros
Fellow co-workers are phenomenal, met some amazing people who care about the vision and mission. There is flexibility and the benefits are good.
Cons
1. Leadership is terrible and unprepared. The organization plays favorites and says it is about the mission and core values — only in theory 2. Will work you to the point of exhaustion mentally, physically, and emotionally. 3. Ambitious goals on expansion and quantity over actual quality 4. They do not value POC except as mouth pieces and to flaunt in front of their white donors — this extends to the Fellows 5. HA is worthless!!! So many people have left (mostly POC who have moved on to better positions with better pay). Complaints are made and serious issues of harrasment by managers are never addressed. 6. Donors matter, students don’t ...very look at me and the good things I’m doing for these children of color. Many people come to this organization because they believe in the mission and want to do the real work. Once reality sets in often amazing people will leave quickly (within 1-3 period) because they don’t agree, push for change, or ask too many questions. If you value your emotional, mental, and physical health — do NOT work here. Save yourself
