Business Outlook

Pros

The employees at Teaching Lab who are executing the professional learning and content are dedicated to the mission and wonderful people to work with. They are collaborative and strategic and made my time there worthwhile.

Cons

The executive team has poor leadership skills and they refuse to communicate clearly with the staff. They value revenue over people, although they are a non-profit, and they underappreciate and overwork anyone that they can. Their claims of being an antiracist organization are completely false and I would not recommend any person of color join this organization. They refuse to take feedback from their employees and the CEO, COO, and CPO are consistently disrespectful and unclear. They do not provide their people managers with the resources to succeed. They administer a staff culture survey every year and the results have gotten progressively worse, particularly for their staff of color. Leadership refuses to acknowledge the results of these surveys, let alone do anything to improve the employee experience at Teaching Lab. Teaching Lab has less than 50 employees and in the last year, seven black employees resigned. Every single black employee who resigned was at the director level or higher. They have since filled almost every one of those positions with white people. They have shown that they are not dedicated to retaining or hiring a diverse leadership team although they claim to be antiracist.
