Pros

Ultimately, my experience at Career Collaborative was a positive one. The people who work there are dedicated to their clients and supportive of each other and the goals of the organization, and the work itself is fulfilling. I was given many opportunities to contribute in different and valued ways, which provided me with the opportunity for personal growth as well. The organization has headed in a more growth-oriented, balanced and likely sustainable direction with the new CEO.

Cons

Sometimes it could be hard to maintain personal space and boundaries from certain clients, which felt extra-challenging on hectic days. Better data collection and management resources could and should be developed (though I understand that's already in process), because I know we definitely did some surveys and feedback initiatives whose results were never analyzed and discussed nor applied. Salary is a bit on the low side, but that's a nonprofit for you and it wasn't enough of a con for me to not take and enjoy the job.

Pros

Career Collaborative is a great organization to work for if you are a performance driven self-starter. You are valued and compensated above the Boston area average with a benefit package that is not the “norm” in the Boston area social profit sector. Bottom line is if you are competent and align your dedication with the mission/vision of the organization and participants served; Career Collaborative will be that employer you will compare all others to over the course of your career. The President is a full-time volunteer and the organization is funded largely by private donations, which she has personally had a solid hand in raising since the start of the organization. Her dedication to participants, their families, donors, employers, volunteers, and her team is unparalleled with others at her level within the workforce development sector; and with more 24 years’ experience across multiple organizations in this space and performance management consulting , I am confident in this statement. Career Collaborative is making a difference one job at a time. This is not your traditional non-profit and if you expect to be successful with the work ethic exhibited in a traditional non-profit setting; this is not the environment for you. If you are passionate about the work and changing lives, it will be one of the most rewarding references on your resume.

Cons

None that I can think of.
