Pros

EHTP has a great mission and does very good work in the community. Pay and benefits are competitive with similar organizations in the area, and there is a good amount of paid time off which makes work-life balance very good. Professional development opportunities are very good too.

Cons

As a nonprofit, salaries may be a bit lower than they would be for similar positions with a more "corporate" organization. Health/vision/medical benefits are only available to full time staff.

Good intention, good mission overshadowed by chaos

Anonymous employee

Pros

It's an okay entry into the nonprofit education sector if you're interested in that. The mission and overall objectives appear solid and worth being a part of. Most colleagues were great to work with. Anti-racism commitment and anti-racism coalition was a great opportunity to keep discussions around antiracism alive between scheduled PD days.

Cons

Management structure is chaotic and doesn't live up to its own goals of transparency. Some decisions seem to be made ad hoc without concern for long-term impact. Organizational structuring at home office is also unclear. Managers encourage everyone to speak up, but most times if your thoughts/opinions don't align with theirs they'll dismiss your voice outright. Benefits were so-so. General wellbeing of staff could've been better to keep up morale and overall office culture.

Disorganized, not flexible

Pros

All supplies were given PD if needed catered lunches

Cons

Working here was frustrating because of how rigid they were on things.HR was unprofessional and very disorganized as well. It seems like they attract new teachers who just do not know any better. If you are a new teacher and licensed please don't work here, go to DOE- better benefits and a union.

Incompetent Leadership, Selfish Staff

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Students are the bright spot

Cons

Long hours with low compensation and poor benefits. EHTP is closed for several weeks throughout the year, but doesn't offer enough sick time or vacation time beyond that. Leadership is incompetent. They don't have a vision or a strategy beyond getting through the day. They don't talk to staff. The focus is always on appearances instead of transparency. HR is completely unresponsive to staff concerns or needs. I do not recommend EHTP as a workplace or a school.

Great Experience...

Business Outlook

Pros

- Many opportunities for growth as this is a growing organization that is adding new leadership and teaching roles each year. -Many opportunities after school and on Saturdays to earn extra money and work with scholars. Most of the experiences are quite enjoyable even though you are putting in extra time. - Great Staff Culture and team morale. -Awesome Principal! - The school focuses and academics and teaching "The Whole Child" -They truly believe in and push their core values that hopefully have scholars growing up to be leaders in the school community and outside of school. - Fabulous new building with the works, smart boards are new and lots of technology for use for scholars.

Cons

- The Professional Development is still a work in progress but I think they are attempting something that other schools are not in terms of racial equity and the work it takes to teach black/brown scholars. -The benefits package could be better especially concerning women who are pregnant and building families.

Pros

It has a very good mission and attempts to work towards fulfilling it.

Cons

Teachers are overworked and the hours are hard. The benefits are extremely expensive. There are no sick days that are given they are accrued per month. They also do not give regular holidays that are in the DOE schools or other charter schools.

Great Vision Lack of Follow Through

Business Outlook

Pros

Teachers have easy access to supplies if the school doesn't have something they are always willing to order it. Occasional snacks, happy hour, and monthly dress down day. Decent medical benefits.

Cons

Favoritism is very real and obvious it negatively effects staff moral. Pay is not entirely based on experience or certification. Certification and qualifications aren't necessarily important to the administration it is more important to have people that say yes and follow along. Manager structure is not set up in a way to truly be successful.
