everyone I work with is incredible, they know what they're doing, and why.

Non-profit salary, so the pay sometimes doesn't refect how hard you work. They have changed a bit, and do pay more than other non-profits

Pros

This place has great benefits and great people to work for and alongside. I feel seen and heard unlike other places I've worked.

Cons

They are still growing and figuring things out since my department is rather new. National leadership tries to govern us as if we're the other educational departments, but it doesn't work.
