Pros

Awesome teachers Amazing kids Benefits compensation

Cons

High turn over rates- spots stay vacant for a long time, which is a disadvantage to the students Low professional growth you will probably feel over worked and unappreciated within no time. You will only move up in the company based on favoritism You can expect negative feedback from managers/leadership at any time. Leadership is petty and unprofessional Any positive reviews on here are probably made by someone working at the first scholars that opened, stay away if you want to be happy.

Pros

-Great staff culture -Great leaders, well qualified in MIDDLE-management level -Unique racial equity statement with dedication to the mission felt by ALL staff, not just instructional -School vacations for instructional and non-instructional staff -High community/family involvement

Cons

-Overworked...50-65 hour work week depending on when it's slow (50 hours) or busy (65-70 hours) -Underpaid with very few (if any) perks, i.e. no work from home days, most holidays are days you are required to work -Very little control over your own role, i.e your role can change without your say -Lack of consistency, EXTREMELY high staff turn over rate -Inexperienced leaders, leads to unprofessionalism, pettiness, and immaturity from upper management/school leaders. -Wants to be a data driven network but doesn't take into consideration the input of the data experts -Lack of transparency between school to school and between leaders and their staff -Lack of structure/vision leads to unavoidable late nights and weekend work. -Racial equity is very important for lower level staff but doesn't appear to be prioritized to the senior leaders/school leaders

Pros

They provide Fridays in August off along with two weeks in December for the holidays. Staff lunches once a month are also ok- food selection is decent but at times they do not order enough food for everyone. First come first served basis is how they operate. The thing to highlight here are the students you get to work with who are amazing from 5 year olds in Elementary all the way to seniors in High School. The families are also extraordinary. Many depend on the programs offered.

Cons

The organization has big dreams. Too many that at times they come off as unorganized and too ambitious. One of them being becoming an anti racist non profit. There needs to be some anti racist work on leadership teams and staffing. They strive to be diverse and inclusive but they are far from that. Most of the senior leaders are white and those in positions of leadership or power (assistant director or director level) are white. What kind of example are you setting for the Latino and black students you serve in the East Harlem community? Absolutely no sense of equity. They also need to provide senior leaders with a workshop on people relations and etiquette. Some of those senior directors in the office are extremely arrogant, unpleasant to work or deal with, disrespectful and rude. Another review on glassdoor said that they treat employees like second class citizens which is 100% accurate. If you are in a coordinator, associate or manager level role prepare yourself to be taken advantage of, under paid, unappreciated and hit with the notion of feeling as if you're disposable and replaceable.

Thank you for your feedback. Since one of EHTP’s core values is reflection, our goal with the evaluation process is to promote reflection and ensure that staff members are invested in their growth and have a voice in their own assessment and development. At the same time, we know that it’s essential to have managers evaluate their staff. By having both managers and staff assess, they can align and build a growth plan together from there. That said, we are improving our performance management evaluation process and simplifying all of the paperwork. We will take your feedback into consideration as we make improvements. We also appreciate your concerns about the food on catered lunch days! We’ll sure there is enough from now on. Additionally, we are piloting a work from home policy and are excited to have rolled this out! EHTP continues to reflect on what it means to be an anti-racist organization and we have ongoing staff professional development days planned that focus on racial justice. As EHTP grows, we strive to ensure that career paths are clear for our employees. It’s an exciting time and we are addressing the challenges that come with rapid growth. Our talent development team is looking closely at staff retention and identifying ways to ensure that staff feel good about their growth opportunities. EHTP is dedicated to ensuring that our scholars achieve their full potential, and as you noted, the students and families are amazing. We remain committed to our mission while also supporting our staff as they grow. Many thanks for sharing your valuable feedback.
