Pros

Summit "Public Schools" is only public insofar as where they get their money. It's COMPLETELY PRIVATE outside of that and they keep a very, very tight lid on the REAL information about their schools. It's a GREAT place to work IF you are one of the executives; then you'll bring home a boatload of money---all of it provided at taxpayer expense, of course---but it's just awful if you've been hired as a teacher. The executives, investors and owners are ROLLING in the dough, all provided by hard working average income taxpayers; and they do their best to hide that information. They're not to be trusted.

Cons

They lie to parents about how well their kids are doing. They lie to kids about their career prospects after graduation. They manipulate numbers to make the company---which they deceptively call a "school" look much better than it actually is. They abuse teachers by making them work obscenely long hours. They know that this will encourage turnover and make it more likely than not that teachers will not stay very long. Then they bring in a new crop of young, idealistic new workers to start the cycle of exploitation all over again.

Pros

Great for retirees or anyone in grad school, a lot of free time.

Cons

Some kids don't listen, and sometimes you have to deal with entitled, reckless drivers.

Pros

Good coworkers and positive relationship with students. Frequent PD weeks during expeditions Constantly given snacks in the staff room

Cons

Toxic work Environment, if you weren't personally liked by admin, or rocked the boat in anyway they would talk bad about you. It was almost as if we were still in high school...as high school teachers. There was a lack of transparency from Admin. There was a lack of proper training, I was asked to do unethical things while on the job, ex) asked to graduate my students anyway when they had not earned the grades to pass or had met the attendance expectations. Faced gender discrimination from a Coworker, creating a hostel work environment for me.
