Good for young coaches starting out

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Decent benefits and somewhat flexible hours, great at training young coaches who want to get into coaching. No other club in the country is as well structured for young coaches as CRI.

Cons

Not sustainable for the long term. No clear vision on how to keep up with the rising cost of living in Boston, and the health care plan is sub-optimal. To maintain a low rent apartment, a coach will often work before sunrise until after sunset - coach burnout is common.

Pros

World leaders in our mission. Great leadership

Cons

Its a place that has a solid foundation but still has some growing pains. Not really a con, just and opportunity to place your mark, if you are willing.
