Absolute worst work experience of my life - Business Operations Manager KIPP SoCal Public Schools Employee Review

Pros

Clean schools, seems like a lot of money and time goes into the appearances and the overall prestige

Cons

SMOKE AND MIRRORS. All their efforts go into the appearances. Teachers are first years with absolutely no classroom management, the BOM position is basically the personal asst to the "principal", underqualified people hired as operations teams. The school leaders will have you bill the most unnecessary things as expenses and you wonder why you can't afford what regular school districts can. The teacher appreciation weeks are meant to give teachers with extravagant items when basic training is what they really need. Their trainings are laughable. No one takes the time to explain why things are the way they are. Just a bunch of Karens and Kevins in upper management who pat themselves on the back for working in "inner city schools". Poor pimping for sure. Left questioning my entire career choice.

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
