Not a Safe Place to Work - Associate Director Rocketship Public Schools Employee Review

Pros

Good pay and benefits; however, the pay is not equitable.

Cons

Rocketship is not a safe place to work. Unfortunately, I feel stuck here due to the job market and the need to keep my benefits. I currently work on the network support team (NeST) and I have gotten medication to help control the anxiety that has been induced by working at Rocketship. The HR team pretends to be on your side but the new leader is clearly doing what is best for the business and does not have the employees in mind. I used to be able to confidently go to our HR partners to share concerns, but now there is fear of retaliation. The executive director in TN and other members of the program team are extremely difficult to work with.

Pros

The people here are so enjoyable to work with. Smart, down-to-earth, mission-oriented. Work-life balance is also strong and has attributed to me staying so long.

Cons

Lean teams can often mean wearing many hats and not being able to specialize/hone skills as sharply because of it
