Pros

Wonderful kids, co-workers are nearly all hardworking, classy individuals. Great benefits for kids' education.

Cons

Management struggles to properly coach, manage people. Managers feel persistent stress, and this flows directly to teachers. Time off is expected during designated breaks and the summer.

Pros

Solid curriculum. Some quality staff and faculty. Property and buildings maintained well; clean and nicely landscaped. Structured program, but inconsistent.

Cons

-Unethical treatment of staff, children, and parents who are earmarked as "incompatible" with the political philosophies of the corporate administration. -Highly unqualified directors and headmasters. -Staff gossip outright about students, families, and staff members. -Preferential treatment of Caucasian, male staff members, especially with military backgrounds. -Teachers pad grades so as to avoid problematic parent-teacher conferences and additional paperwork; management knows this and turns a blind eye. -Administration is condescending despite being poorly qualified and almost completely inexperienced in the fields of education and management. -Lies, manipulation, mind games, and power trips seem to be the name of the game.
