Pros

- Competitive compensation - Excellent organizational leadership, passion, and culture - Programs really make a difference in the students' lives

Cons

Any new site comes with some growing pains and so we are still figuring some things out as we go. Could use a little more direction or "best practices" from other sites or leadership. But again, these things come with any new sites!

Pros

Love working here; commitment to DEI and supporting students toward job opportunity and economic agency; everyone I work with is really smart and passionate and good at what they do

Cons

Can be hard to take time off despite decent PTO package; upper leadership doesn't seem to trust or value the feedback of the people doing direct work with students; after big layoffs early 2026, a lot of us are working extra hard and would appreciate some grace and understanding and flexibility from leadership
