City Year: Putting idealism to work while having your own sucked out of you. - Program Manager City Year Employee Review

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.
