Pros

Mostly remote, so you can avoid the frat house feel of the "office".

Cons

Management is unprofessional. They lack the desire or insight as to why a workplace should founded on tact, respect and clear communication. On my first day I found out they lied to me and I would not be receiving no actual benefits (heath & dental insurance). Instead, after a 90-day probation period, I would be given a healthcare stipend to pay for a portion of my health insurance. The management has zero leadership; amongst themselves or to the broader team. Proper communication was executed from 2 (non-management) of the 17 FT employees. They can't even manage to balance their own books!

Pros

highly competent coworkers on the education team

Cons

You will likely end up doing a job you aren't trained to do under the guise of "entrepreneurship" and learning by throwing oneself to the sharks and seeing if you can "sink or swim." -Some projects were very interesting while others were downright dangerous and highly lacked cultural awareness, sensitivity, and competence. - Hires mostly white, college education young adults even though they seek to work in underserved communities & not once while I worked there did we ever talk about DEI or the problematic aspects of white saviorism in non profits. - If you turn down additional work that is on top of already taxing work, you will likely be gaslit, targeted, refused raises and advancements, and treated as if you are a problem. - highly toxic, it will likely take time to recover your mental health and nervous system due to all the confusion and gaslighting from working here.
