no money, no support - Anonymous employee TerraCorps Employee Review

Good benefits Great entry into non-profit sector Federal Loans are put on hold and accumulating interest is paid off by government Great opportunity for connections, professional development and skill development A lot of flexibility in work hours Training hours allow for plenty of skill development in your field

Payment is laughable. I get 1050 a month after taxes for full-time work in Massachusetts which is well below the state minimum wage. Many of my coworkers can barely support themselves with 3 jobs and benefits such as SNAP and HIP barely offset the lack of compensation you receive working full-time nonetheless. The only reason I don't have a second or third job is because I live with wealthy parents. I cannot recommend this program for people with little financial support unless you are willing to work a second or third job. Strict hour limit that allows for flexible schedule can also mean working extensive overtime during certain weeks Lacking amount of hours you can dedicate towards professional development (i.e. apply for other jobs, updating resume, etc)

Good experience depending on your host location.

The pay is TRASHHHHHH for the about of work and hours you put in. There’s no guarantee that you can get a job at your location after either
