Pros
LUNA excels in creating a culture of inclusion, diversity, and community. I started work as an Intern in the summer of 2017 and was later asked to join the team through a Language Access Fellowship in September 2017. Having no professional experience in business operations, I was given the chance to assist LUNA’s management and was provided with guidance and direction on how a company effectively runs. Management is truly genuine and extremely helpful in all aspects. Directors helped me focus on my professional goals through setting up mentorships and providing me with the resources I needed. I was genuinely excited to go to work every day and so were other employees. Working at LUNA is more than a 9-5 job- I attended multiple community events to see how LUNA’s work was positively serving our community. Lastly, during my time at LUNA, I felt that management genuinely cared about me and my development. They were invested in my continual education.
Cons
The only con of leaving LUNA is leaving all the strong relationships I’ve formed with the staff there. Working at LUNA has shown me how a Language Service Provider is properly ran inside the office and outside in the community and I will forever be grateful for the opportunities I was provided.
