Pros

Solid curriculum. Some quality staff and faculty. Property and buildings maintained well; clean and nicely landscaped. Structured program, but inconsistent.

Cons

-Unethical treatment of staff, children, and parents who are earmarked as "incompatible" with the political philosophies of the corporate administration. -Highly unqualified directors and headmasters. -Staff gossip outright about students, families, and staff members. -Preferential treatment of Caucasian, male staff members, especially with military backgrounds. -Teachers pad grades so as to avoid problematic parent-teacher conferences and additional paperwork; management knows this and turns a blind eye. -Administration is condescending despite being poorly qualified and almost completely inexperienced in the fields of education and management. -Lies, manipulation, mind games, and power trips seem to be the name of the game.

Pros

Great teachers and students are so eager to learn with brilliant, creative minds.

Cons

Management at certain schools is horrible as well as highly unappreciative of their staff and drives teachers to leave and quit - they don't help their teachers, yet micromanage on an annoying and unnecessary level. Low salary but long hours!

Pros

Most horrible and humiliating experience. Be prepared to be ripped apart by chritisism and humiliation. Many times unspoken in a form of behind the back.. You are considered stupid and incapable even if you brake your back proving yourself. Most employees suffer from enxiety disorder eventually.

Cons

please see the pros .. Nothing better to say since the only good thing Really are the innocent students and parents.
