Embarrassingly inept leadership

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

The kids are good, the salary is competitive, there are usually enough basic supplies.

Cons

Toxic work environment. Leadership at the high school is embarrassingly out of touch. Since they don't do their own jobs they spend their time micromanaging their staff. Culture is non-existent, the kids have no respect for leadership, and no one with any power has taught a class in years. CEO and CAO are equally out of touch.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad to hear that you found the students rewarding to work with and appreciated the competitive salary. We also want to acknowledge the concerns you've raised. Leadership is currently taking active steps to analyze teacher feedback more deeply and with greater consistency. We recognize that listening is only the first step. It’s just as important that our staff feel heard and see meaningful change as a result. Our goal is to build a school culture where all staff feel supported, respected, and empowered. Thank you again for your input! Thank you, East Harlem Tutorial Program

I like it here

Business Outlook

Pros

We have strong leadership that feels like they're in it for the long haul. I like the direction we're headed in and I have confidence in the leadership to get us there. We are not perfect by any stretch of the imagination but there is good work happening here and we've got a bright future. Most of the people who work here, especially those who have been here 5+ years, have a thorough understanding of the community and its unique characteristics and needs. In my experience, we treat kids, families, and each other with a baseline level of respect and care.

Cons

We still have work to do on truly being an antiracist organization. We've made significant progress over the past few years but we still need improvement in what being an antiracist organization looks like in the day to day operations. Everyone in the org should know and understand what it looks, sounds, and feels like to operate through an actively antiracist lens. I know it's a journey not a destination but I hope we continue to hire folks with that top of mind.

Thank you for your thoughtful review. We appreciate your confidence in our leadership and the direction we're headed. It’s great to hear that you have a long-term commitment to our organization. With the recent revamp in HR and leadership in our schools, along with the launch of our second staff equity cohort, we are committed to making noticeable changes at EHTP. We hope these efforts will lead to a stronger future, and that you will continue to see our progress in the months ahead. If you have any more comments you'd like to make, I'd be happy to speak with you via our email at jobs@ehtp.org. Thank you, East Harlem Tutorial Program
