Pros
Above average pay and benefits Working with most students is fun
Cons
Cons 1) Overall: If you are a man this org is not for you. I have never worked in such a toxic work environment. 2) Work environment: All 3 new Black employees this year are quitting, and multiple male employees have complained to admin about gender discrimination. The CEO and exec board spend money on quarterly corporate events to get people to forget about the overwork and low salaries. You are paid below LAUSD, work longer hours, and are assigned tasks that would be multiple jobs in a public school district (lunch duty, arrivals and departures, weekly presentations, etc.). Feedback is not anonymous and they don't tell you when they are evaluating you (i.e., they could say they're coming to assist with a disruptive student but write down notes saying you can't run your classroom). 3) Curriculum: stale, not culturally relevant. Everything is tied to tests and they don't let you innovate. 4) Gender equity: There is favoritism for girls over boys. Boys are sent home/yelled at for cussing at teachers, but girls can do the same and more without anything happening to them.
