      Excessive Work and Micromanaging

      Pros

      There are great benefits and coworkers.

      Cons

      HQ is extremely detached from the daily struggles of teachers and continuously makes decisions that negatively impact the work-life balance. The curriculum for middle school is terrible and has yielded terrible results. HQ does not listen to teacher complaints and created a revolving door teachers quitting. Career mobility is also nonexistent unless you play into their social hierarchy.

      Pros

      Competitive salary, access to new technology, great benefits. Best for new teachers that were trained through their beginning teacher programs.

      Cons

      Terrible work-life balance so not great for those with families. Inexperienced administration at the high school level, favoritism amongst between admin and staff, little support in the classroom, poor curriculum planning. Be prepared to figure things out on your own. The toss you to the wolves. Inconsistent values and culture coddles students instead of actually empowering them. Not a good environment for teachers trained outside of their programs. No flexibility on leave, cannot donate time, no forgiveness for extenuating circumstances.
