Pros

I've learned many valuable things during the learning and development phase of YUU. The amount of networking events and opportunities are invaluable to me as well. I appreciate the stipend we receive too.

Cons

I think it would be great if in-person days for the L&D were optional since class was still over Zoom.

Pros

- Competitive compensation - Excellent organizational leadership, passion, and culture - Programs really make a difference in the students' lives

Cons

Any new site comes with some growing pains and so we are still figuring some things out as we go. Could use a little more direction or "best practices" from other sites or leadership. But again, these things come with any new sites!
