Pros

Collaborative, inclusive work environment that does not allow for mediocrity. Incredibly dedicated, intelligent staff who work their hardest to provide excellent service to those they serve.

Cons

20 year old company with a "start up" like infrastructure. No real processes in place which sometimes leads to confusion.

Everyone is smart, committed to our mission, and open to new ideas. Rewarding work - you see students' lives change in just a few months. Collegial culture.

Passionate staff & supportive to one another

Pros

1. Supportive work-life balance which in turn gives the feeling that as an employee, you matter as a person. You will be supported and appreciated. 2. A work environment that is open and encouraging to change. 3. The work is truly inspiring, no matter the position you hold--you *feel* like you are contributing to the mission and playing a part in changing people's lives whether you are direct services or not.

Cons

Health benefits are really my only complaint. Some antiquated practices, but again as noted in the pros, there is sincere openness to hear your thoughts and make improvements.
