Pros

Great team and family approach, all employees stick together and most believe in KIPP mission. Has great benefits and supportive HR team.

Cons

Non competitive pay, if anything lower than local district. Extended school day of 10 hours plus 2-3 hours extra per day and weekends to plan and develop for the week as there's no team planning. Super high teacher turnover, half of staff on particular Houston campuses seems to leave throughout the year or doesn't return the following year. Makes promises to students but fails to meet them as discipline, turnover and management are constant struggles.
