Pros

Very passionate and intelligent coworkers. Good connections with the community through Parent College and the Pacific Standard Time initiatives. Rewarding work that makes a difference in the lives of students and families.

Cons

Organization tries to be everything at once with a very young and very small team. Relies heavily on Americorps VISTA for support, but with extremely high turnover after 1 year. The CEO is super aggressive, super optimistic, and a force to be reckoned with if you disagree with her. The relationships with the District and the schools themselves have deteriorated in recent years. Many roles are grant funded and can dry up in a matter of months.
