Pros
Great pay. Great benefits. Coworkers and students are wonderful.
Cons
Teachers are at the mercy of administrators. There is no real HR support for employees in the event of conflict with administrators. As there is no unbiased 3rd party arbitration process, administrators hold unlimited power over teachers. I wrote an email to administrative leadership advocating for higher pay for our support staff. I was shocked when I found out that school support staff only make minimum wage at Learn4Life. Their equals in local school districts - with union support - make closer to 25 dollars an hour and up. In my email, I explained that our support staff were having a difficult time keeping their cars filled with gas - which explained the very high turnover rate. From that point on, I was under a microscope. I started to get written up for ridiculous things and was eventually fired. My students and coworkers were heartbroken - I was heartbroken.
