Pros
The mission of developing leaders for underserved civil societies around the world is passionately addressed from top to bottom of Atlas Corps. Though relatively young in existence, there is a definite sense of growth and expansion of the program footprint. The vision of delivering a positive experience for the Fellows is maintained even as the organization evolves and adds programs.
Cons
The relative youth of the organization affects the ability to provide a robust employee benefits program and the salaries are below market from the top to the bottom of the organization. The organization does, however, make use of alternative work schedules and a liberal paid time off policy to mitigate lower compensation. Sometimes resources for staff needed for performance of their work are in short supply due to a high level committed to Fellow program expenses.
