Pros

Really smart and mission-driven folks who care deeply not only about closing the literacy gap, but also about the people who work there. Tons of opportunity to move around and learn. Leadership team is highly strategic. Solid benefits. A truly fantastic place to work.

Cons

At our stage of growth there's a lot going on and things move fast. It's exciting for the most part, but some natural growing pains as the company scales its operations.
