Pros

- Mission-driven, family-feel, celebrate wins together - Fun traveling to 2-3 college partners with coworkers with every summer, employees see it as an opportunity to explore new cities by going a day earlier, and even connect PTO to see family/friends in nearby regions - Great workplace for moms, good benefits and understanding - True feeling of doing good and impacting lives

Cons

- Sometimes unreasonable resistance to change when it comes to systemic processes, varies by team/subject matter experts - Saw a few instances of mismatched employee and manager expectations in terms of career path growth - Very long hours during busy season (majority of people don't mind because their belief in mission and purpose)

Pros

You work with amazing students who are inspiring.

Cons

This organization claims to center equity, but in practice, it rewards performative allyship, curated aesthetics, and fitting into a certain mold. Promotions overwhelmingly go to folks who fit that mold—many of whom have never been first-generation or low-income, and have zero lived experience that reflects the students and communities this organization supposedly exists to serve. Meanwhile, staff who actually come from those backgrounds and who bring depth, insight, and hard-earned understanding, are sidelined, exploited, or made invisible. Loyalty is taken for granted. Experience is devalued. And calling any of this out will quietly cost you your place at the table. This is not a merit-based organization. It’s a curated club that protects its image above all else. If you don’t fit the mold, you will not be supported, promoted, or truly seen, no matter how long you stay or how hard you work. Enter with caution. And don't confuse their language for their practice.
