Pros
Great mission and goals of servicing charter schools and helping children succeed. Nice office space in Santa Monica. You will go far if you are a type A personality, build relationships with key players from the start, are thick skinned, and always willing long hours.
Cons
Upper management has direct access to the clients and attends their board meetings but does not include middle managers in all the meetings, build cohesive structure, with clear communication or offer career progression from day one. Each client has own policies and procedures which are known by upper management and shared with other employees once they make mistakes. Expectations are high and support is minimal. It's a sink or swim environment. Turnover is high and salaries are low.
