City Year: Putting idealism to work while having your own sucked out of you.

Program manager
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

It's an organization doing great things for people who need it most. You wake up and you go to work and you know that what you are doing is just and noble

Cons

Sadly, as is often the case with work that is just and noble, the rewards beyond that are limited if existent at all. The pay stinks in comparison to other nonprofits. They overload you with work and unreasonable deadlines and before you know it whatever dreams of a personal life work life balance are gone and you are fighting just to stay ahead of the curve and often times failing to do just that. They have very poor communication and rarely recognize a job well done.

Pros

the kids, national service, social commitments and desire to gain management experience. The opportunity to take on new tasks and work independently. Access to a nation wide network of employees.

Cons

salary as a staff. accountability. Lack of tapping into the potential that the organization has, especially sharing knowledge and experiences. so many tools, but no time designated to use internal tools. There is always an opportunity to learn independently as a site, but sometimes its important to utilize skills, plans, lessons from other sites and apply them locally.
