Pros
Project Success is a great organization and greatly prioritizes their mission and their community (staff not included). You have free health care, full coverage. It’s a great place to get started in your career for an entry-level position. Staff greatly cares about students, and this has always been inspiring. There are hybrid options to work in office or at home (give or take depending on the position you’re looking at).They’re open to implementing innovation from staff.
Cons
-They don’t care much about their staff and will often push their boundaries to get what they want. They’ll either demand for you to work outside the scopes of your job description, or guilt you for not doing so. You’ll be overworked. Don’t show or tell them all that you’re capable of doing. Neither show them how fast you’re able to work. They know their organization is a revolving door. Because they overwork their staff, there’s not much expectation for anyone beyond leadership to last more than a year or two (and a Director has admitted as much to me). Don’t burn yourself out for them. The pay will suck unless you’re a director. HR is not your friend (even less that in other places). Leadership is never wrong, even if they are. If leadership does something wrong (this is for Directors and above), there’s a lack of accountability for them. If you notice you’re being mistreated, I’d recommend for you to document said experiences. Make no mistake, Directors are not your friend. It’ll be interesting to see how PS does with the growing Gen Z population joining the work force, and Gen Alpha. They won’t take the same level of hardship or disrespect as Millenials or Gen X. The market is too bountiful to push one’s self to the brink, no matter the passion for the mission. Especially for the low pay PS provides. For the level of toxiety of the organization, you’d do better to work for Corporate. At least you’d get paid somewhat fairly for the work you can do.
