Pros

You can make a few (I emphasize a few) great friendships. You get an Americorp award if you haven't received it already.

Cons

They focus on Black and White tensions but ignore the histories of Hispanics, Natives and Asians. Many of the institute employees have a White Knight mentality in which they believe their way is the best way and look down on veteran teachers who have not been involved with TFA. There is no responsibility taken for the lack of progress the organization has shown throughout the last 25 years. At times it feels like a cult. Their political branch has a man who is homophobic running it. I would never recommend anyone work for this organization. It was honestly the worst decision I made.
