Pros

The Booster parents are very kind and appreciative to the teachers. They help us out tremendously. It's relatively easy to land a job of relatively high esteem here (Dean of Students/Director of Academic Affairs) with little to no related experience. It's a poor choice that negatively impacts others, but you've landed a decent job, nonetheless.

Cons

No real training. If you "fell into" teaching/came from another field, this is a good way to get classroom experience and decide whether teaching children is really an avenue you think you'd like. If you have passionate views about what education should or shouldn't be, this isn't the place for you. Management has no such views, seemingly. It's a business to them. They have beliefs about how to keep their bottom line from drying up and how to maintain nationally-recognized test scores. Outside of that, they don't care. You're a warm body to them, completely disposable, regardless of your qualifications. They retain students who are disrespectful, lazy, and apathetic and blame the teachers for their poor scores. It's easier to do that than anger parents. They're all about their public image to an unhealthy and unjust level. You have zero support as an educator. Plus, the infrastructure is atrocious. Everything is falling apart, from mechanical things, to electronics, to doorknobs, to toilets. We're packed like sardines into a tiny joke of a building. Wildly underfunded.

Pros

I worked at multiple campuses. I was at my first campus in Chander for 5 years. I started on the academic side and the academic team was amazing, supportive and really all had the same mission. The principal and admin team and teachers were all amazing to work with and the students were phenomenal!

Cons

After transitioning to Operations and interacting more with senior managers, it quickly became apparent they just wanted someone in the role, not someone who would take the job seriously. You often felt blamed for whistleblowing. Also the level of autonomy across campuses causes a very uninformed approach to handing anything when you change campuses. My last campus was Peoria and the admin was very unsupportive and incapable of addressing and resolving issues. It was a very unprofessional and unfriendly place to work and respect was non-existent across the building, including teachers, parents and students. There was no respect for your time outside of school hours. Not a good role for anyone with a family and the hours worked and salary paid are very uneven. Admin also often made culturally inappropriate jokes. HR is there to protect the company not to really resolve or mediate.
