Pros

Relatively high salaries (although the work load is completely unsustainable), driven staff members

Cons

KippSocal is completely bottom-line driven at the expense of its employees and students. Staff are worked to the bone. Leadership at schools are young and inexperienced (growth is being pushed so much that almost anyone who has stayed longer than three years is pushed into management), the middle school I worked for was so disorganized and mismanaged that kids were punching holes in walls every other day, throwing food everywhere constantly, and destroying the bathrooms. Our leadership team at the school was combative and overwhelmed. Absolutely no work-life balance across the board. This is ABSOLUTELY the worst place I've worked in my 12 year career.

Pros

While they did have access to a lot of materials, they never seem to have access to the right materials. I was able to develop programs and get resources my students needed.

Cons

Terrible administration with no experience, terrible budgeting, terrible managing other teachers, refused many times to get supplies. Students needed refused work, brakes or lunch breaks, never offered support known for not having a lot of returning teachers because of the culture and climate, focused heavily on teachers being compliant to them not to the students, was worried more about having power over teachers by inflicting. Long days. Lots of deliverables and a lot of busy work that benefit of upper management or management way more than it ever benefited students or teachers. Seem to support more management than they ever did Parents or teachers or students
