Teach for America – “Difficult but rewarding job”

Pros

Though the job may be difficult, the ability to work with like-minded individuals made pursing the mission feasible and relatively enjoyable. TFA was wonderful regarding the amount of support available for its corps members. Loved interacting with my PDs and always felt refreshed after a meeting.

Cons

Long hours, and seemingly lack of respect from parents and administration (unrelated to TFA, but still part of the job).

Advice to Senior Management

Though many CMs are recent grads, institute and orientation should be handled more professionally and less like college 2.0. This would make the sudden transition into the professional working world that much easier.
