Pros
I am so proud to be a part of family that values my gifts and talents. AF has been so supportive in allowing me to wear many hats over these last 7 years. I have witnessed both how dedicated and hard working our employees are from the network level ("behind the scenes"), and the magic that is happening in our schools as a result of super talented teachers and incredibly gifted kiddos.
Cons
Closing the Achievement Gap and preparing our kiddos to be awesome citizens of the world is hard work. As such, AF asks a lot from their employees in terms of time and energy. It's not for everyone. You have to be willing and able to dig in everyday and go the extra 3, 5, 20 miles with everything you have. For some, this may not be sustainable or realistic.
