Pros
The first thing I will mention is, if you love taking initiative, apply here! The person who will thrive here, is a person who is: resourceful, curious, motivated, driven, passionate, works well with others, creative, optimistic, loves creating and building relationships, loves and cares about the cause (because RLC really does care about making a difference), vocal, outgoing, imaginative, and organized. There is a lot of flexibility, a lot of trust, a caring and hardworking team of employees, an opulence of networking opportunities (almost everyone in NYC is connected to this organization through volunteering or donating funds), fun events, and so much more.
Cons
RLC has very high expectations for its employees, but that's normal for a lot of organizations. In fact, those high expectations will help you grow because you learn what you're good at and what you're lacking in.
