Fulfilling Work

Pros

Working with the students and being able to be part of their journey as they improve on their math skills and other academic qualities was extremely rewarding.

Cons

You're pretty much being paid poverty rates in the stipend. If you don't have a savings to dip into, it'll be a rough year. That's probably why the target demographic for Fellows are fresh college grads looking for something to do between as a gap year before a career or post-grade.

Pros

Only pro is the relationships you build with students and maybe some co-workers.

Cons

Avoid at all costs, complete waste of time. Saga suffers from severe white savior complex and micromanagement.

Pros

- experience working in high school before committing to go to grad school - individual relationships with students - tight knit team at each site

Cons

- like all Americorps programs, it's paid less than minimum wage - extremely limited PTO - very little opportunity to give feedback to management - lots of work, very little compensation, feeling that management takes fellows for granted - wildly different expectations for fellows and site directors, who are paid 4x as much
