Pros
The worker bees support the mission presented by the owner. The students come first. The lower-level employees will go out of their way to may sure the students are successful.
Cons
Upper and executive leadership do not support the mission or the workers. The bottom line is numbers. There are people in positions of power that know nothing about the educational experience and aren't willing to learn. There is constant change based on opinions vs. sound business decisions. When they say jump, you better jump, or they will bully and embarrass you in front of your peers. There is inconsistency amongst departments and limited opportunities for growth. The person who is the loudest and most aggressive bully gets the attention. Instead of being forward-thinking, they put processes and programs in play that are antiquated. Overall, it's an unhealthy culture but could be great again if leadership positions were filled with people who actually knew how to lead without bullying and narcissism.
