Will not grant PTO as contracted

Pros

You don’t have to dress the bottom half of your body every day.

Cons

Too many to list here, but I’m here today to complain about RTO (requested time off). In your contract, it states you get 7 sick and 3 personal days paid time off. What they don’t tell you is there are swathes of weeks “blacked out” for RTO. And you can RTO around those but you may still be denied. YOUR PTO DOES NOT ROLLOVER!!!!!!!!!!!! You lose it at GCA from year to year. You can’t bank it for retirement like a normal school. Also, it may be approved in some cases, but if you don’t supply a dr excuse, you will not be paid. Do you go to the doctor every time you’re sick? I sure don’t, but now I have to.

Pros

This is one of the best places I have ever worked. The staff is extremely well educated, friendly and professional. They are the best at what they do. The work schedule allows for great work-life balance. The benefits are also very good. I have learned so much working here. You will not be disappointed!

Cons

The pay is not the highest, but most staff work remotely. Not all positions offer advancement opportunity, but you are able to transfer to other positions within the company.

Pros

WFH but that's off set by the 70 hr, unpaid OT they expect

Cons

*10000000 "managers" to constantly mentally terrorize you *0 respect for teachers. The HOS acts as a mini dictator in a fiefdom and is completely unqualified to be where she is. Nepotism all the way at this place. The BOE = greedy, unqualified, abusive. The entire district team are all abusive to teachers. * The bottom of the barrel students and parents. Many of these "parents" are running or have destroyed their relationships with their home district because of their behaviors. *constantly gaslight by the 1000 managers who use manipulation and abusive/bullying tactics to put teachers under their thumbs. *Constantly expected to work for free. This school has 0 work/life balance. You'll be working thr work load of 5 teachers for 35% less pay then public schools. They absolutely do not respect their teachers to pay appropriately. *Huge turnover for a reason. There's alot of reasons this place is Constantly hiring, even though they offer WFH in a pandemic. They're so awful that they can not retain. *Again, terrible work conditions. Constant required unpaid OT, tremendous caseloads/class sizes with wildly inappropriate amounts of staff that are actually doing the work. Constant meetings where they love to talk down to and belittle teachers. Teachers are forbidden to express concerns (the most emotionally abusive place I've ever been, the whole place is as toxic as Chernobly). *caseload = 50+, plus new intake students constantly. You'll be doing IEP meetings every day of the week plus those 6 preps and you're expected to just give up planning everyday to do meetings. Again, they pay you for 40 hrs a week and expect 80. Express valid concerns and they'll gaslight, minimize, and bully. They routinely use PIPS to intimidate and bully teachers. There is absolutely nothing about this school that's worth it. There's a reason only managers are coming on here leaving positive reviews but actual teachers are saying the opposite.
