Youth For Understanding Employee Reviews for Travel Assistance Coordinator

What do you like about working at Youth For Understanding?

"Easy to get along with everyone. Departments don't collaborate except for departmental meetings. Often feels like company is struggling to adjust to change. Can be stressful during placement crunch, and work can become unorganized/overloaded with the crunch."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Know that there is little room for advancement and that the department heads/directors have been in their position for decades. There is little change that occurs."

What don't you like about working at Youth For Understanding?

"Not a very good work-life balance. Salaries are very low. Coworkers often complain about their work. Office feels like a dungeon."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I would aim for lower placement numbers. Goals are set way too high. Not enough department collaboration. If something is wrong, no one tries to fix it. It's left for someone else to fix."
