Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for your years of supporting our Graduation Candidates. We’re glad to hear that the impact of the work stood out, as that continues to be central to who we are as an organization. We recognize the importance of strong leadership, clear expectations, and consistent standards across our academies. Feedback related to leadership, ethics, and consistency is taken seriously. As we have continued to grow and evolve, we have remained focused on strengthening leadership effectiveness, increasing accountability, and improving consistency in how we support both our teams and the Graduation Candidates we serve. We appreciate you sharing your perspective. Feedback like this is important as we continue to refine and improve our approach.

Pros

Win, Build, Send. We are helping the youth that others give up on, we are helping the youth that others look down on, we are helping the youth that others say will not make it. All places have their stuff, but the impact we make each day is a blessing, and the company takes care of its people. In 35 years of being in the workforce I have never worked for a company that values its people. 401K, massive PTO, Sick time, and so much kindness. You show up, do your job, communicate, have the right mindset this is the place for you.

Cons

Policies, and procedures are not in full that can cause a little chaos, and at times working with others, or being over stimulated can suck, but nothing terrible.

Pros

Absolutely love working with the kids and providing them with a safe space.

Cons

Kids are nothing but a number . Staff favoritism which creates a toxic work culture amoung staff members. Measuring academies against one another when each academy is run so differently and has such different staffing. HR does not take care of its employees when there is an issue. Policy changes at the drop of a dime leaves staff exhausted and confused. Staff safety also does not seem to be a concern at all.
