A great place if you like no work-life balance and toxic management

Business Outlook

Pros

Great kids, a stable job if you can stomach the pay and culture

Cons

A business—profit is always first, don’t be fooled when they tell you they handpick their students or that all kids are coming in at the same level, longtime managers are lazy, blame others for their shortcomings, but are happy to take credit for everything their teachers do, pay for new teachers VERY low—unless you come in with significant experience, you’ll be making 1/2-3/4 of what charters/public schools pay, massive workload, large class sizes, no career growth unless you’re willing to make your job your life

Business Outlook

Pros

Working with highly intelligent, like-minded coworkers. Students that are eager to learn and succeed. Curriculum and resources are all provided for you. Extensive training available during internship year.

Cons

“Sink or swim” mentality. Toxic competitiveness between teachers and students. Upholds the philosophy of freedom and choice, but also has a bureaucratic “my way or the highway“ approach to certain policies.
