Pros

The staff is overall very tolerant and diverse. The pay is decent, and better than most nonprofits. All work is remote until further notice. You will be promoted if you do what is asked of you.

Cons

HR was helpful, but unprofessional in regards to misquoting my wages (accepted out of need and interest in the work), and being very rude in communication with me, and others in the company. Management is split between experienced leaders and inexperienced staff. They move people up based on if they are the warm body directly below the open role or not. I went back to the corporate workforce to chase the money because at least there, I know I'm being openly discriminated against.

The Houston Team is amazing! Felt really supported and inspired by great local management.

Cons

There are metrics that you must meet to keep your job as any position. So, you have to make sure you don't lose sight of Certification rates they could become more challenging but they can be achieved.
