Business outlook
Pros
- Fabulous and wide-ranging internship opportunities in amazing places, performing rewarding work (especially the 10-mo. residential Corps programs) - Can be a good "pathway" to a federal job (NPS, USFS, etc) rather than colder USAjobs route - PTO/leave policies for full-time staff are generous
Cons
- 2009-2014 saw horrible [mis]management at senior level - Board of Directors usually provide no valuable business connections; no "give/get" - Funding model (dependent on stable Gov't budgets) is mono-cultured - Weak foundation/grant support - Staff and program cuts are frequent and poorly-handled
