Pros

Bond with co-workers with how awful the management was

Cons

Literally everything. Will delete your reviews from employees and past students or families. Supported dangerous behaviors such as gun play and did not take threats seriously. I can not believe people pay thousands put their children through here when they don’t know how outrageously unsafe it is.

Pros

Kids and families that really love learning and want to work with you

Cons

Administration/ a corporate office that’s is actively working against you to maintain control. They preach freedom and independence but as a teacher you have none. Communication that is truly the absolute worst I have ever seen. You could be told three different things throughout one day, only to get accosted when you didn’t know which one to follow. Run 100% as a business first. No thought towards education unless they believe it can produce more income/ enrollment. Salaries that are laughable. (It’s a non profit so you can check top salaries online). Mind you top paid employees haven’t taught or even stepped into a classroom in years. Being shamed for having family emergencies/ taking any time off. Nepotism runs rampant Do not work here if you do not align with the political beliefs of the higher ups. Their Christmas “gift” is a subscription to a political magazine…
