Pros

Amazing, dedicated, intelligent peers who are both passionate about education and extremely productive to work with. A very results-oriented and data-driven culture. They work with the end in mind, and produce more high-quality results in a month than most organizations do in a year.

Cons

An intense work load and a an occasional focus on effort and productivity with less focus on the big picture and strategic use of time and resources.

Pros

Lots of support from coach and leadership team overall. Very friendly staff. There is opportunity for growth.

Cons

Low retention rate for teachers. Poor balance between work and personal life. Not enough flexibility for teachers to be creative in their craft. Things are constantly changing, usually at the teacher's expense.
