Users say... "Long hours; Easily taken advantage by school admin if you don't clarify your roll" "City Year is an AmeriCorps nonprofit, so the experience for this part of the organization can be really challenging— long hours and low pay are the downside, but the rewards for such valuable work are incalculable." "Management poor and fear based." "60 hour work weeks with no work life balance in some of the most high" "First there was 'Basic Training Academy' where I cannot tell you one thing that I internalized other than City Year's cult"
