Pros
The young adults are wonderful, working with them is the most rewarding part of the job. My coworkers were some of the most compassionate, hard-working people I’ve ever met. The camaraderie among staff is strong because everyone is doing their best under difficult conditions.
Cons
The organization is high-stress and fast paced, with constant changes in priorities and initiatives that make it nearly impossible to do your job effectively. Burnout is common, and there’s very little genuine support from leadership. Transparency is nonexistent, and trust between staff and leadership has eroded. Despite “unlimited PTO,” taking time off is discouraged, and benefits are not as good as they appear. Budget choices are difficult to justify given the limited impact of the organization. There is a lot of drama and there have also been employment lawsuits, too many for a young org imo.
