Pros

Free shirts and structured curriculum. Can move up within a few years.

Cons

EXTREMELY stressful job. I was going into work at 6:45am and leaving at 6pm AND I was still working when I got home. I worked during lunch and often went in on Saturdays mornings to copy. Even after all these working hours, I still felt like I was struggling to keep up with the workload. Administration always wanted you to do more even when you were already working more than 60 hours a week. Administration was unprofessional and only care about having good data (high test scores and staff/student retention). I would never recommend working at this school to anybody. I had ZERO work life balance and had to leave because the stress levels were taking a toll on my body and mental health.

Pros

The organization is one that is so easy to get behind, and that gets behind their people. Our staffing team is one of the best out there.

Cons

Working in the education world is tough, as you’re normally as a rule trying to do more with less.

Pros

Teachers had a positive attitude toward each other and worked as a team. There is extensive training in classroom management at the beginning of the year and clear consequences for students.

Cons

When you interact with HR, you are reminded that you are just a number. They do not treat you as a valuable employee. You are asked to send your questions to emails, and you're not able to get someone on the phone. Their communication is confusing and they are not helpful.
