Pros

The program coordinators are really nice. The mission has good intentions.

Cons

There is a huge disconnect between upper management and everyone else. Coordinators are disconnected and often live in fear of rocking the boat. DEI efforts are lackluster and not part of the culture. Managers micromanage and put a lot of pressure on their teams. The beginning of the year can be overwhelming due to lack of resources. Also, there is no formal training for new staff. They will hire you, feed you to the wolves, and then fire you if you can't survive. There is no room for growth either. My advice, if you need a quick check for a year try it out but if you value your sanity and mental health stay far far away. You have been warned.

Pros

Great place to work when you care about the positive influence you can have on children.

Cons

Read Ahead has the opportunity to become a more expansive program to help close the learning gap of the students it serves across NYC.
