Pros
Hard-working colleagues and wonderful children
Cons
There is a fallacy promoted at Zeta from the CEO that working here is like being on a Lord of the Rings type quest and all that matters is persevering and fighting onwards. This may have been helpful for Zeta as a small organization as it rode its CEO's reputation to gaining charters but as the comments on this website show, there is currently massive turnover and dysfunction, and it all stems from the top. Do yourself a favor and CALL SOMEONE who works at Zeta before you accept the job. Then CALL SOMEONE WHO USED TO WORK at Zeta. The CEO is well-known to disparage current and former employees, revealing not strength but a deep insecurity. Goals and shifting deliverables are given at the last minute as leadership lacks the focus and discipline (and experience) to lead Zeta at its current size. Anyone who doesn't drink the kool-aid is deemed unsupportive of children - what? For real? C'mon now - stop playing these egomaniac games and stop insulting hard-working educators. Leaderships lack of focus and professionalism does not mean that those who work hard for children at Zeta or elsewhere are bad people. It's easiest to describe the leadership style of the CEO with an excerpt from "The Emperor's New Clothes" So off went the Emperor in procession under his splendid canopy. Everyone in the streets and the windows said, “Oh, how fine are the Emperor’s new clothes! Don’t they fit him to perfection? And see his long train!” Nobody would confess that he couldn’t see anything, for that would prove him either unfit for his position, or a fool. No costume the Emperor had worn before was ever such a complete success. “But he hasn’t got anything on,” a little child said. “Did you ever hear such innocent prattle?” said its father. And one person whispered to another what the child had said, “He hasn’t anything on. A child says he hasn’t anything on.” “But he hasn’t got anything on!” the whole town cried out at last. The Emperor shivered, for he suspected they were right. But he thought, “This procession has got to go on.” So he walked more proudly than ever, as his noblemen held high the train that wasn’t there at all.
