      Thanks for nothing

      Pros

      Some of the staff actually cared about the students. Emphasis on the word some.

      Cons

      •The “skills” I learned there I could’ve picked up on YouTube •The internship I was put in was a glorified receptionist position •The internship I was placed in was 2 hours away from my house therefore, I had to pick up a second job just to pay for the expenses on top of the job I already have & going to year up full time •I went to my higher ups in Year Up explaining how in my internship I wasn’t learning any IT skills which is the reason I was there & they looked the other way •After graduating the program I needed help looking for a job which they gave me empty leads that didn’t respond & maybe one or two text messages from the person who is supposed to be “employment placement” and according to Year Up is supposed to help you find a job up to 3 months after you graduated •The program was year wasted in my life & now I’m back again at step one working at a minimum wage job & nothing to show for it

      Pros

      Year Up is like no other organization. My colleagues are all very genuine and truly care about the work we do, as well the students we serve. The work isn't easy and everyone comes in day in and day out ready and willing to go the extra mile. Year Up is organization that also cares about you as an individual. The benefits package is amazing and taking care of yourself is encouraged here. Your colleagues are your teammates and everyone respects one another. It is definitely a pleasure working here. Even though we are a new site, our team is growing and the word is getting out about Year Up Los Angeles.

      Cons

      With all the positives stated, it is a little challenging to talk about the cons, as there aren't many. I will say that the office space is a little challenging. If you are used to having your own office or office space, get over it. It would be nice to have that intimate space, however, to focus on your work, have confidential meetings and conversations with students, etc. We are a new site so we are still learning and growing together but this also presents natural challenges that we will soon overcome.

      Great Mission Bad Leadership-ATL

      Pros

      This company has a great mission and great benefits. The mission itself will get you excited about working at Year Up.

      Cons

      Leadership is horrible, there are a lot of unethical things happening at this site ( with students and staff). When you complain to the National office nothing happens. It is the worst place to work. This organization should not be on the "Best Non Profits to work for" list. The ED is a horrible leader which is why retention is low. The staff is not happy and aren't treated right. The only reason people stay is to help the young adults.
