Pros

TFA was recently recognized as one of Fortune's 100 great places to work in America, and one of the few non-profits to make it on the list. TFA is committed to its people, and recognizes that people are what make success and achieving the mission of the organization possible. Compensation is high for a non-profit of its size, and the benefits package and flexibility are unparellled.

Cons

The organization has been in growth mode for the better part of a decade, and the year on year growth the organization has tried to sustain has created challenges. In particular, TFA must continue to invest significant energy in hiring and onboarding new talent, which provides tremendous opportunity, but also means that managers often must take this on on top of ambitiuous goals.

Pros

As a college student looking into their fellowship program, they were very informative and helpful whenever I had questions. Working with the students for a semester was very fulfilling. I never had any issues with any of the local school staff or the TFA administration. There are plenty of opportunities for growth.

Cons

Because it is a nonprofit organization working with educators and students, the pay can be less than optimal, but even then the work is so fulfilling that it's not necessarily a con in my opinion.
