Pros

The direct impact I had on my teams and their students, helping them feel supported, and positively encouraging them to grow.

Cons

Leadership is a mess right now with funding cuts and low AmeriCorps member (direct report) recruitment. National CEO is lousy when his emails aren’t polished by others, very fake. Need to increase pay and return to hybrid/remote positions where it makes sense.

Pros

You do very meaningful work and the staff truly care about you and what you are doing.

Cons

School placements can be quite far from where you live, and the days are long (7:30 am - 5 pm). Often is exhausting, but you stay for the kids.
