It's a great job if you're passionate about it and willing to sacrifice yourself

Pros

-tons and tons of teacher support, training, and development -very dedicated staff at all levels -i can tell the CEO really believes in what we're doing and is not in it for the money or glory -clean schools, access to supplies, etc -tight discipline -raises and promotions tied to performance -being involved with something that is truly making a difference i really love working here...this is my 3rd year at mastery and my 5th year teaching, and i hope to be here until i retire.

Cons

-the main problem is, like others have said, there is NO room for work-life balance. the expectations on us are pretty much unreasonable, and we are very closely monitored for compliance. if you work here, don't expect to have much of a life of your own or downtime, at least if you want to get ahead -we have a large central office staff who get paid WAY more than the teachers do, and that makes me mad sometimes bc we work much harder -that's really all i can think of right now!
