Pros

Annual salary increases Most colleagues are reliable and easy to get along with Anti-Racism professional development Scholars and families are the heart of the work Work from home opportunities for central staff

Cons

Annual salary increases vary tremendously in scale per year Long hours No room for promotions for certain roles, even after years of dedication to organization Workload is too much for the salary Quantity over quality is always pushed - the organization wants to grow at a pace that is faster than what it can handle, at the cost of its staff's well-being due to overload of work Work style and culture clashes between the charter schools and OST/Central teams No paid maternity leave

Good intention, good mission overshadowed by chaos

Pros

It's an okay entry into the nonprofit education sector if you're interested in that. The mission and overall objectives appear solid and worth being a part of. Most colleagues were great to work with. Anti-racism commitment and anti-racism coalition was a great opportunity to keep discussions around antiracism alive between scheduled PD days.

Cons

Management structure is chaotic and doesn't live up to its own goals of transparency. Some decisions seem to be made ad hoc without concern for long-term impact. Organizational structuring at home office is also unclear. Managers encourage everyone to speak up, but most times if your thoughts/opinions don't align with theirs they'll dismiss your voice outright. Benefits were so-so. General wellbeing of staff could've been better to keep up morale and overall office culture.

Pros

I could not imagine working anywhere else. Scholars Academy is a home away from home. Teachers and staff are incredibly dedicated and genuinely love what they do despite the challenges. We offer workshops to families, monthly family events and weekly celebrations highlighting scholars and staff alike. This is one of the few educational organizations that I've worked for that stresses the importance of reflection and growth. Additionally, our entire organization have been trained by and continues to be trained by Border Crossers- an organization whose mission is to train and empower educators to dismantle patterns of racism and injustice in our schools and communities. This is incredibly tough work but empowering to say the least.

Cons

- longer hours - adequate space as we're expanding - limited parking
