Business Outlook

Pros

Pleasant Co-workers. Good structure at the school. Parents generally good about supporting classroom policies.

Cons

Evaluations (40+ hours over winter break, 20+ hours over every other break of the work year). This is a monotonous part of the job. Try to write an original 5 paragraph essay about 100 students every winter break. Merry Christmas! Sub-35k salary, 10 - 11 hour work days.

Don't look behind the curtain

Teacher

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You don't need a teaching certificate to teach at Great Hearts Academy.

Cons

Below average pay, A retirement plan that you can't retire on ever, long hours, little faculty input into school management, no pop culture allowed: you can't even play pop cultural music in a classroom, expected to do extra curricular work with no pay increase, leadership lacks experience, leadership will lie to your face, Great Hearts has a political agenda and everything they do serves that agenda. Leadership will talk about morals, but they behave in amoral ways. This is a scary company to work for.
