Business outlook
Pros
If you are passionate about community service and working with youth and don't mind sitting around for hours on end doing nothing or a frustrating workplace.
Cons
If you have a problem upper management will turn it around on you. Basically, there is nothing wrong with City Year, the problem is you. Time is not managed well at all. Expect to find yourself with nothing to do for hours on end. No one cares if the other people on your team do nothing; a lazy work ethic is considered "diversity" there. Whatever happened to Americorps:Getting things done? Also, the pay is incredibly poor but you do get an education award.
