... - Program Assistant City Year Employee Review

high pressure environment, constant struggle for funding. if you are in a department where your leadership is stable, you'll be in good shape. however, if you are in a department where your leadership is less than effective or respected by the executive office, then things will be challenging. by they way, they love that word - "challenge". its an unspoken rule that no one is allowed to use the word "problem" there. they have a very strong organizational culture that can be overbearing sometimes. if you dont like doing a team break (like a sports team) after every meeting, then this isn't the place for you.
