Pros

This is a supportive and mission-driven workplace where employees genuinely care about the people they serve. There is a strong sense of purpose in the work, and team members are collaborative and dedicated.

Cons

At the same time, there can be a lack of clarity around role expectations. Responsibilities assigned by leadership may shift or expand over time, which can make it difficult to maintain a consistent workload. While this can provide opportunities to grow and take on new challenges, it can also lead to imbalance if not clearly defined. Compensation and role alignment could also be improved. As responsibilities evolve, there is not always a clear structure in place to ensure that pay and expectations remain aligned. Greater transparency in this area would help build trust and long-term satisfaction.

Pros

I fortunately had a really good mentor who had my back and seemed to care about my professional development.

Cons

The morale was so bad. Everybody seemed miserable, myself included. Long work hours with little pay. Students get treated like prisoners. So many don't know how to read or count, and at the middle school level this is very discouraging.
