Great mission, but not quite right.

Pros

Great training and professional development. Very organized and focused organization. Amazingly talented employees.

Cons

Horrible work-life balance, not the best school cultures and respect for distinctive communities, ridiculously high expectations for employees, which have caused a lot to jump ship.

Pros

After three years here I want to spend at least three years more here. My coworkers are warm, funny and CAPABLE - there is no weak link in the chain - I come to work excited to see people. The co-CEOs are warm, smart, thoughtful people who firmly have one foot still planted in the classroom. Families are wonderful. Benefits are really strong, as is comp.

Cons

Working here is a lot of hard work - but if you know that you have to define what sustainability means for you you will be successful.
