      Pros

      Working with at-risk girls most of who have been dealt a cruddy hand in life and deserve a fair chance. Great mission (on paper it reads well) Social services side of the program is nice for the girls who don't use it just to get out of class.

      Cons

      Long work weeks Unrealistic expectations Company wants to grow too quickly without having a grasp on existing centers "Wrong" types of girls allowed to enroll just to play the numbers game, ultimately putting the girls who truly need PACE at further risk for harm. No one at any level of the organization has a true education background "Leaders" on the education team are condescending and lazy No support for academics Very typical of a non-profit organization - elbow rubbing and impressing anyone who will give a penny (often exploiting the girls in the process)

      Be Careful - Pace Miami Location - Dysfunctional

      Pros

      Great combination of education meets social work environment.

      Cons

      Specifically, if you are a minority (Black or darker Hispanic) the Miami location is not a good place to work. The management operates out of white privilege and the opinions of minorities are not considered as valid or discarded easily. It is apparent when the leader calls some "my girls" and others gives them ideas to share. HR is not helpful in these situations. They are dismissive and condescending. They are truly the definition to protect the employer and not the employee.

      It is unfortunate that you had a bad experience at the PACE Miami location. PACE prides itself on recruiting and hiring a diverse team throughout the organization. The Miami leadership team has consisted of Caucasian, Black, and Hispanic ethnicities since it was opened in 2014. The staff in each of our centers should reflect the community that we work with. We also value diversity in thought. We want to hear the ideas and perspectives of all. We believe this how we have and will continue t o offer the best services to PACE Girls.

      Pros

      The girls are the the highlight. Opportunity to make a difference ... which is probably number one reason teachers decide to become teachers. Commitment of teachers, counselors and office staff are glue that keeps

      Cons

      Lack of structure and consistency- chaotic. Accept any girl, whether a good fit for center or not, to meet quotas. This puts students and teachers at risk, and academic progress for each girl in jeopardy. Pervasive, negative atmosphere. Staff morale low, girls sense the dis-connect between staff and management. Constantly short staffed, lots of substitutes.
