Pros
It is very rare to find a non-profit/start-up that is just as passionate about their staff as their cause (with the financial support/pay to back it up). Although brief, my time at The Academy Group was life-changing (literally). I've transitioned into a greater, entrepreneurial opportunity just by being there. But while employed, I was treated with so much respect, care and intentionality. The pay was wonderful, new office space, and the hybrid work schedule was a bonus. A lot of flexibility and THE BEST benefits package I've ever seen. Ever. A very warm, communal culture as well.
Cons
They're still in the process of building and streamlining their systems (workflow, chain of command, workload, etc) and that can feel frustrating and confusing at times. But, with what you gain in this workplace, it is a feasible period to be patient with (and contribute to). The onboarding process isn't for the faint of heart, and may be a turn-off due to the amount of steps. But if you're into your work being meaningful, engaging, and reflective--you'll do well here. The "training" aspect is still being worked out, so you may find yourself 'figuring it out' at times. There can be positive and negative aspects to that, but there is always support available when addressing your needs. Work-life balance can get tricky, as you may find yourself working well-beyond your 40hr work-week depending on the needs.
