Achievement First reviews

There is no HR department. On the network support side, they don’t promote hard working people. Teams create positions and you must “interview” for the position - this is how you get promoted. However, it seems that selected teams get to do this approach. The leadership team prefers to hire consultants, which means they rather pay someone outside the organization more, instead of raising the salary for their current employee, that most likely can or is already doing the work. The organization has grown over the past 5 years, yet they don’t invest in hiring more staff. The current staff is overworked and not appreciated.

Unsustainable stress/working hours. Constant staff turnover. As a new teacher it was incredibly overwhelming and they just threw me in with only one very busy person to coach me, no support from any other deans/administrators. Even now that I have my legs under me the job is incredibly exhausting and overwhelming, and it is very difficult to have any time for sleep/self. Work live balance unsustainable in the long run.
