Rewarding work helping kids, but unstable employment - Tutor bei Beyond Basics: Mitarbeiterbewertung

So many kind-hearted individuals and we pride ourselves on the very diverse (over 60% of the workforce)! I've had the privilege to engage with numerous incredible tutors and graduates from the literacy program, some of whom later became tutors and mentors themselves. The primary focus of the organization is putting kids first. Over the past 24 years, the CEO and Co-founder has shown unwavering dedication, tirelessly striving to create a significant impact on thousands of school children. Her determination serves as an inspiration to the entire staff.

The demand for Beyond Basics' services has experienced exponential growth year after year, causing the organization to confront certain growing pains. Therefore, much like other thriving organizations, it remains a dynamic environment. So, if you seek mundane and unchanging routines, and if you wish to decelerate, this might not be the optimal match.

You get to impact children who need reading assistance.

Beyond Basics says the mission is to end illiteracy but it's really all about the money. I worked for the company for several years and saw how number driven it became. You are always viewed as disposable to them. No professional development and a strong office vs. field mentality. Very privileged people in the office who are completely out of touch with the community they serve. They just want to get another "seat in a chair" for funding. And they "tweak" the data to show the outcome that they want. The curriculum is weak as well and continues to be changed because the outcomes are so poor. Such a shame. There are better places to tutor, places that care about the staff and students more. They laid off most of their in office staff due to mismanaging funds and were very dishonest about it. So grateful I got away, my life is better now. Would not recommend!
