Pros

Teachers and most principals at Summit are passionate, intelligent, and work very hard. They are excited to collaborate, learn and try new things.

Cons

Summit (the organization) abuses teachers. As an at-will employee, you have no rights. Some days you're made to work for 12 hours with no bathroom break. Some days you are told to stay until 9pm and still come in at 7am the next day and teach. There's no additional compensation for any of these activities. The San Jose schools didn't have substitutes this year, so when teachers were out sick, other teachers were made to substitute (again without any compensation). Class size can be as high as 40 students per class, and there's very minimal coaching from admin/the Summit Organization.

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.
