Positive Reviews From City Year Employees
- What did you like most about the interview process?The interview was very friendly and conversational. They asked a couple behavioral questions and had a couple of written questions to answer outside of the call. Overall I think they would benefit from having additional interaction with potential recruits.
- What are some of the best things about your team?Many people are like-minded and great to work with. Like all jobs some can be a little odd but I've come across a few too many that are awful people and should not be working in a school building. I think stricter boundaries would absolutely be helpful here.
- What do you like best about the leadership team?The way we are able to collaborate
Constructive Feedback From City Year Employees
- Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?We are paid 12,000 year pre-tax for 50+ hr/weeks
