The owner is truly the worst human being I have ever encountered. She will make your life miserable should you decide to work here. I worked in the front office for a short time. The owner literally said that she "didn't think I had the smarts" for the job. I consider myself a relatively intelligent, friendly, hard-working person who is pretty easy to get along with. I am also quite tough, and I rarely let things get me down. This woman made me cry every single day with the things she said to me. I found out from one of the other front actually set me up for failure because they found the REAL person they wanted in the role shortly after they hired me. The place is unethical and the morale across the board is ridiculously low. DAILY, I would see teachers and other staff members WEEP and feel so defeated after the things the owner has said to them.
People would get fired on a weekly basis--sometimes 2 or 3 in the course of a week. Just on a whim--because the owner didn't like the person. It's a school, so illnesses spread like wildfire. One time, norovirus was spreading across the school like CRAZY, and students and teachers were calling out sick a lot. The owner had a staff meeting literally yelling at the staff for getting sick, and saying she didn't want anyone else calling out. I'm sorry, but you want people coming in with explosive "issues" from both ends, spreading an extremely contagious illness? And this school is open NO MATTER WHAT, so even if the state declares a snow emergency during a blizzard/Nor-Easter (and literally EVERY OTHER SCHOOL is CLOSED, you're STILL expected to come in. It's insane and asinine and dangerous.
I truly mean this with all sincerity: I'm not sure if the owner is mentally ill or just mean, but it's not worth it. Your self-esteem will be in the toilet if you work here, so trust me--don't do it. You'd be better off at McDonald's until you find something better.
