Business Outlook
Pros
The organization is intensely focused on its mission and works hard to maintain that focus. The people employed by TFA tend to be remarkably competent and are often even fun to hang out with. The work is very rewarding as you get to see young people develop into strong teachers and leaders.
Cons
TFA can quickly take over your life, regardless of how carefully you set up firewalls between work and your personal life. This is particularly true of working during the summer institute. TFA also can be inflexible when it comes to certain things, like time off or protocols for interacting with corps members.
