Pros

I had been with Tilden for several years and can't say enough about the impact on my life as an educator, the flexibility and understanding of the management to allow me to pursue my personal/professional goals, and the satisfaction of seeing my students thrive. My colleagues have always been welcoming, amazing educators. I was able to build lasting friendships that I will cherish. The Heads have always been there to address my concerns and needs. Even with competing priorities, they have always found time to give guidance and direction. The Directors are warm and welcoming and appreciative of feedback. Though they are not always about to make adjustments they consider and plan for improvements each year. Having been a long term employee I have seen it firsthand. As an educator, being about to get to know a student one-to-one is an amazing transformative experience and taught me much about being an educator and the power of individualized education. Though I have moved on from Tilden, I would return in a heartbeat.

Cons

Some teachers have a toxic attitude toward the workplace and management which can really affect the tone of the workplace at times and strain relationships.

Pros

I had the flexibility to create course and class content fit the needs of a diverse array of students facing a variety of learning challenges from dyslexia to recovery from drug addiction. The result was the ability of many students succeeding to reach high standards, returning to various high-achieving private schools, and entering college. Good colleagues and support from management whenever I had a concern.

Cons

There were a fair number of incidents of poor behavior from rather entitled students who should have been expelled sooner rather than later. But such is the case in any environment where children of the wealthy know there is no rock bottom they can hit.
