Great mission but not so much for BIPOC employees.
Pros
Many employees (not many on the Executive level) have innovative minds and great vision for client centered services. Compass also offers great professional development and has a very strong national network.
Cons
Like many nonprofits, the mission always means well but their practice of inclusivity, equity, etc. does not always align with the policies and treatment of their BIPOC coaching staff. As a person of color, the gaslighting by members in management and the messiness of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity (DEI) training gone completely wrong, have left me with unresolved trauma that I am still trying to unpack even after I left the position. Beyond that, it was very clique-y and unless you drank all of the Koolaid all of the time, there was very little space for upward mobility in your career. Oftentimes you felt more like a few clicked check boxes, rather than an actual colleague that's respected.
