Pros

- a great first step for someone just out of school - lots of learning opportunities - Input from lower level staff is considered and taken seriously - scholars are amazing to work with - you work in partnership with scholars/families - a lot of ‘learning on the job’ which fits your style if you like hands-on learning - SEL and mental health are important in the work with scholars and equally important for staff - scholars and families really trust the org and its staff - all hands on deck mentality; supportive - generous benefits and time off

Cons

- spurts of very busy seasons - no pause points in the year to reflect and evaluate; when there is, it’s not enough time to reflect and then add suggestions for improvement - not a lot of room for upward growth but there is transparency about that from the beginning. Still a great starting point!

Pros

The mission of the organization is incredibly important and they do great work surrounding being culturally and racially aware. Many coworkers are fantastic people, just getting started out of college. They also have generous benefits, especially for a nonprofit.

Cons

A lot of their initiatives are a lot of talk and no action to support it. The management has all been there nearly or over a decade and form somewhat of a clique, though they say they have "open doors" and "friendly culture." Because of the longevity of leadership, nothing ever changes and they are staunchly resistant to new ideas and change. This also means there is almost no opportunity for growths within the organization and turnover rates are astoundingly high. They claim to value diversity, but only at the lowest levels of employment does this show. Differing viewpoints and offering any form of criticism are met with skepticism and even hostility.
