Vantaggi
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.
Svantaggi
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.
