Pros
Great time off- nearly 5 weeks during the first year, 401K with match (what Head Start program offers this?!), Great, smart, driven people to work with, the values say it all- Open Communication, Teamwork, Data driven decision making, Proactive Problem solving, and Follow through- this is how we operate. Personal and professional development is encouraged. Coaching and feedback is constantly provided.
Cons
It's demanding, no doubt, but if you are serious about taking on a task as big as closing the achievement gap, it has to be- that doesn't come by sleeping on the job. We work very hard and Acelero expects a lot from it's employees. It's not a bad thing but those that are looking for just a job might see it as a negative versus the people who really want to make a difference will thrive.
