Recruitment Coordinator - Recruitment Coordinator College Bound Employee Review

Important and rewarding work Flexible work environment New leadership

Common nonprofit cons - salaries, limited career advancement opportunities, benefits

Great staff who care deeply for the students

By far one of the most stressful places I’ve ever worked and management truly doesn’t know what they’re doing. College Bound desperately needs people in leadership who actually have experience working in education and success in managing people. The data culture is also very robotic and unreasonable and they feel if they just collect more and more information, it’ll improve programs but it’s actually harming the organization. Data is great but success of the program is tied to building relationships with students who actually want to be active. Another major con is how people are treated here. Be ready to be gaslit constantly and gossiped to and about by leadership. Unrealistic expectations will be placed on you and coaches and managers are often blamed for “bad coaching” when a student has a poor outcome that is out of our control. If a student drops out the program, school or fails to tell their coach of a personal struggle, get ready to have all of your documented interactions combed through to see where you went wrong. Even if that student hasn’t spoken to you in months. It’s your fault. Overall, No one is happy working there and everyone is desperate to leave. It’s not worth the low pay and stress.
