City Year in idea is a great organization. However, that doesn't translate so well in practice. I was promoted to a position with little support and resources. Pros Community involvement and service to a greater good. Cons The politics associated with the organization. Not flexible at all. Poor management.
Someone needs to shut this program down. Do yourself a favor and work at Target. Pros Kids. Working with City Year has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, mainly due to the students City Year puts at the center of its work. The team I have worked with here at DC has been nothing but amazing and their are many decent benefits insurance, career guidance, metro fare, lots of paid time off that sweeten the deal.
That being said, there are a few drawbacks. Be prepared to do a lot of work for less pay than you are worth. City Year expects ten hours of hard work each day for less than half of DC's minimum wage. Additionally, there is little to no consideration given to where you live when being stationed, meaning many will move to an apartment in the area only to find out after they were stationed hours away from home despite there being closer schools.
Finally, there are often major decisions made by the main City Year headquarters that heavily impact its AmeriCorp members with little to no input from said AmeriCorp members.
Overall, it is work you have to be emotionally and financially resilient for but it will ultimately provide you valid career experience and an opportunity to serve your community in ways you couldn't imagine.
Cons Limited down time, low pay, difficult to reach higher management. Care to share? Help people considering your employer. Share your experience. City Year is worth it. Pros Holidays, growth, meals. Cons Many hours, low stipend. Working as an ACM is very very fulfilling, but the pay americorps give is terrible.
Pros metro card, insurance, therapy. Cons pay. You will gain a lot of experience wearing multiple hats and filling in where you are needed, but must be willing to work long hours and be highly committed to student and school success. Compensation is low as it is an AmeriCorps Program, and more support needs to be given to corps members by leadership.
Cons Low compensation, long hours, experience varies depending on school placement. Great company with a purpose. This is a great start for someone who is looking to work with children, work within the non-profit sector, or just volunteer. After a while it feels like management is only involved enough to keep the company from losing funding. Poor relationship between management and teachers. Jobs at City Year.
