      Pros

      Lots of coaching for teachers, sometimes it's genuine feedback and support. Most of the teachers are pretty great people too.

      Cons

      Corporate business mindset that basically assigns a spreadsheet to any and every problem. Oppressive structures that don't help kids learn independence. Too many demands in a day, ZERO work life balance. If you are offered "support" on something, what it really means is that they're about to treat you like you're a child and that you're going to work twice as hard. It's not fun. Run away.
