Thank you for your honest feedback. We're glad to know you’ve felt supported by your peers and appreciated some of the small efforts we make. We also want to acknowledge the concerns you raised around performance evaluations, attendance practices, and staff equity. These are important areas, and we’re taking time to revisit what didn’t go as planned this past year. Our goal is to make thoughtful, meaningful adjustments as we head into the next school year. We hope you’ll continue with us as we move forward on this next phase together. Thank you, East Harlem Tutorial Program

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It's wonderful to hear that you appreciate the kids and families. However, I understand that the expectation to work after school hours can be challenging. Balancing work and personal time is crucial for well-being. If there are specific concerns or suggestions regarding this, feel free to contact jobs@ehtp.org. I'd be happy to see if we can assist you regarding that. Best Regards, East Harlem Tutorial Program

Incompetent Leadership, Selfish Staff

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.

Pros

-Great staff culture -Great leaders, well qualified in MIDDLE-management level -Unique racial equity statement with dedication to the mission felt by ALL staff, not just instructional -School vacations for instructional and non-instructional staff -High community/family involvement

Cons

-Overworked...50-65 hour work week depending on when it's slow (50 hours) or busy (65-70 hours) -Underpaid with very few (if any) perks, i.e. no work from home days, most holidays are days you are required to work -Very little control over your own role, i.e your role can change without your say -Lack of consistency, EXTREMELY high staff turn over rate -Inexperienced leaders, leads to unprofessionalism, pettiness, and immaturity from upper management/school leaders. -Wants to be a data driven network but doesn't take into consideration the input of the data experts -Lack of transparency between school to school and between leaders and their staff -Lack of structure/vision leads to unavoidable late nights and weekend work. -Racial equity is very important for lower level staff but doesn't appear to be prioritized to the senior leaders/school leaders
