Poor work life balance Stressful work enviornment

Employee happiness is on the bottom of the priority list. The model seems to be based on bringing in young, idealistic men and women ready to put up with anything and asking them to work around the clock and devote their lives to the job. Few last longer than a year, which weakens the culture...some people don't bother learning colleagues' names since turnover is so high. Vast majority of senior staff are not good managers. Just so many terrible management practices that make no sense. Management seems to have no respect for employees. We are kept in the dark about major issues affecting us, management does not solicit employee opinions, huge discrepancies in salary between the top tier and the rest. Huge focus on testing and test scores. The image of multidisciplinary "whole-child" curriculum just isn't true in Grades 3 and up, when the students spend months on end preparing for the state tests.
