Pros

- Professional - Good people to work with - They really get you an Internship - Can be actually good for some (but overall is not ) - I actually liked the CEO (good and humble person)

Cons

Low pay, as a full-time student it's 100 dollar every TWO weeks (when you don't get any infraction). Even a minute late means -20 dollars or wearing the wrong shoes The Internship experience it's the worst and you don't even know if you will get hired. Towards the end of the whole program, you realize you wasted a whole year doing something for a useless certificate.

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
