Pros

You'll be encouraged to lean-in and work hard. Many of the other teachers you meet are kind and hard-working people.

Cons

You'll be micromanaged and given extra work that's outside your job description. Prep-periods, and sometimes even lunch breaks and after-school hours will be used up by largely pointless meetings with information that could have been quickly sent through an email. You'll likely have inexperienced managers who aren't qualified to teach your subject matter at all constantly try to tell you how to teach it and get aggressive if you question anything or bring your own experience and expertise to the table. Staff turnover is very high, which creates an unstable environment with constantly changing expectations.

No Value for Work/life Balance

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefit options Opportunities for promotion/growth for less experienced and educated professionals

Cons

Not a good place to work if you have a family or other hobbies to invest in as well! Teachers are expected to pick up work cell phone until 8pm at night. Teachers have little to no autonomy in creating a class schedule, lesson plans, unit plans, or assessments. Extreme micro-management from supervisors and administrators who are often less experienced in education and do not have CA credentials to be school administrators. Supervisors showed favoritism and little support for teachers and staff overall
