Pros

It used to be a wonderful organization to work for. For a while, we operated as one unit with a mission - to change the trajectory of children living in under-resourced communities!

Cons

Too many to list, but I will start with the CEO. The board should have replaced her and most of the C-suite a long time ago.

Pros

There is a lot of flexibility as the entire company is remote. You have unlimited time off.

Cons

Nonprofits have public tax filings - look at their recent 990s. The CEO of a nonprofit that had 80 employees at its peak, makes $500,000. They had round and rounds of layoffs, and the CEO makes half a million - at a nonprofit. Majority of leadership makes $300,000+. That is disgusting. They care more about lining their pockets than trying to keep the organization running. They do not care about the mission. The organization also has no future - they have a weak platform that is outshined by every competitor. They have spent millions and turned all attention to this platform that AI can replace in two seconds with weak lesson plans. Now that it is failing, they are turning to the “rural” route simply to appeal to more donors. That money won’t go to students or improving educational outcomes - it will go straight to the CEO’s Louis Vuitton and Range Rover. Disgusting and I would never recommend this organization to anyone.
