Business outlook
Pros
Lots of support for professional development, hard working students, diverse, use of technology is very much supported. High caliber colleagues.
Cons
Meetings, very stressful culture. I sat through so many unproductive meetings and felt that they not only wasted my time, but added to my stress. I have worked at other independent schools and still find that Packer's obsession with meetings was very particular to Packer. I learned a lot during my time as a teacher there, but wasn't especially happy. Very unhealthy work/life balance. There was this unsaid rule that if you don't stay at school until late in the evening, then you're not a hard worker.
