Pros

Great staff, great mission, great school partners (for the most part)

Cons

There’s a lot of disorganization last minute decisions, a lot of information lives in people’s hands like processes, and not anywhere that is accessible, managers are expected to carry it all with little recognition, and always being told to put more out
