Abusive, panic-driven environment justified with high reward potential

Business Outlook

Pros

- On paper, mission looks and sounds amazing. - Rapidly developing charter network with well-funded schools appearing all over impoverished neighborhoods - Fresh-out-of--college, middle-class opportunities for immediate hire with high salary - Rapid promotions to school principal or assistant principal possible (with expanding network and very high turnover) - Young, hip, fashionable culture - As a teacher, you may have to do little thinking as curriculums are micromanaged for you - Resume builder

Cons

- Erosion of any work/life balance - actually highly, HIGHLY discouraged in culture - Constant environment of panic maintained to encourage high effort and self-doubt - Eva is abusive and no one is willing to admit it - Recommended to young individuals who believe in giving 115% for "the cause," and have not yet developed concept of "self-boundaries" or "self-care" * - Upon school visitations, their very strict classroom rules for students also border on abusive - While building critical reading and writing skills in kids, also severely stamps down on self-expression or autonomy (punishments are plentiful, harsh, and unexplained) - absolute silence in hallways, even teachers are discouraged from speaking - Teachers are kept in constant fear of surprise visits and sample collections for evaluation
