Pros

Decent professional developments for employees.

Cons

Friendship Public Charter Schools are only out for the money. They look at the students ESPECIALLY SPED students as dollar bills. Most of the campuses do not have the proper resources to deal with students with extreme challenging behavioral issues i.e. emotionally disturb students, homeless students or students dealing with incarcerated parents. There are never enough school psychologists or counselors on these campuses which begs the question, why do you continue to build schools in impoverished urban neighborhoods, claiming to make a difference but do not have the proper resources to address the issues that come with the poor??? Teachers are constantly burnt out working for Friendship. It is a revolving door of new teachers and other staff members that eventually recognize Friendship for what they truly are and that is a hustle to make as much money off these innocent unsuspecting kids. It is very hard to have a student suspended let alone be expelled no matter what offense had occurred. Not a believer of suspension myself but there has to be line drawn somewhere and established so that students and parents know that there will be an ultimate consequence for EXTREME intolerable behavior. Friendship thinks otherwise so you end up with stressed out teachers ready to bail out at any given opportunity. The "In Crowd" and who you know is definitely in full effect in Friendship as well. Too many instances of certain people with certain top positions within Friendship do not know how to do there job BUT whats even worse, they clearly show that don't really care for those kids at these campuses. Only time they care is when its a photo op. If you are desperate need of a job and you have a possibility to work for Friendship, then sure do what you have to do but TRUST don't plan to stay there for the long haul. There are too many other charters that will provide a better much stable environment than Friendship. Yes, these are words from a former bitter employee of that HELLHOLE. LMBAO!!!!!!

Pros

Fast and smooth hiring process: HR conducts a very smooth and fast hiring process. I completed a phone interview, participated in an in-person mock lesson within a week, and signed a contract within two weeks of the initial contact. FPCS HR made my transition from my previous position very effortless, and even covered almost all the financial aspects of it. Compensation: Friendship PCS offers top-tier remuneration compared to other districts across the country. Teachers are compensated well above many nearby districts and have multiple surprise bonuses throughout the year. The school also provides numerous internal opportunities to earn additional income through the wide variety of programs offered to students. Overall, teachers are highly valued and appreciated by the leadership team. Small class sizes: The teacher-student ratio is manageable and allows for more individualized support for students. In larger classes, the district adds additional adults to the room to increase access to teaching and learning.

Cons

Work-life balance: Friendship PCS mostly serves an underserved community with a large proportion of at-risk students. Scholars often come with significant academic and emotional gaps. As a result, it is not uncommon for teachers to have heavier workloads and work longer days.
