Svantaggi
- Severely overworked and under-compensated. You will likely be performing frequent off-contract and unpaid work, sometimes past hours. Work/life balance becomes nonexistent if you are good at your job.
- Improper safety protocols that endanger staff and students
- Poor morale all year long and in every department. The only solutions given are 3d printed fidget toys and condescending seminars explaining how to care more about your job.
- Very frequent nepotism hiring. Said individuals are often held to much lower standards of professionalism and rarely face meaningful repercussion of any kind for poor behavior
- Severely understaffed, with high turnover rate among both teachers and paraprofessionals
- Most hostile HR department I've ever worked for
- Sneaky contract, will likely write you out of defending yourself from any unjust action on the organization's part
- Dishonest and neglectful treatment of students for the sake of maintaining good-looking data and "compliance"
- Unprofessional expectations, particularly in regards to student boundaries and use of messaging platforms
