Pros

The role itself was enjoyable initially, with the opportunity to face and work through challenges and I often got to work on things that I otherwise wouldn't have gotten to do.

Cons

After working here for almost a two years, I seriously considered a career change. While I enjoyed the role at first and faced some challenges, I ultimately felt unheard and unsupported. It became clear that most employees, aside from a few, secured their positions through personal connections rather than through formal recruitment channels. Many roles within the company were never posted on job boards, and getting hired often depended on knowing someone internally. Contract workers were treated as if they weren’t truly part of the team, with some management referring to them as “cheap labor.” As time went on, it became increasingly difficult to stay motivated and supportive of the company. There are limited opportunities for personal development or long-term career growth, and there is a clear lack of investment in employees' professional development. No incentives are provided, leaving employees feeling stagnant and undervalued. Employees are often encouraged to suppress their concerns, and if you don’t maintain a constant, overly positive attitude, there’s a risk of being let go. Overall, the work environment feels dismissive, and the lack of transparency, fair compensation, and support for career advancement made it challenging to stay.

Pros

Day-to-day is a very reasonable workload. Training is solid and departments work in conjunction quite well & effectively. Culture is decent.

Cons

After our director left, admissions were left with little to no support. The president of the org is constantly biting off more than she can chew & thought she could gain a proper understanding of sales/admissions and give us the support we need, all while overseeing day to day of the entire org. Founder doesn’t seem like she really does a ton or understands what is really going on. Randomly terminated for no given reason along with other very long tenured employees. Found out through the grapevine it was for budget purposes, which there was 0 transparency or communication about. This very clearly should have been a layoff w/ severance.
