Pros

Amazing professional development opportunities. I learned so much as a teacher there and had the opportunity to move into leadership. Students are truly diverse and you know that you're actually making a difference. They're also sweet for the most part. If you're interested in being on the cutting edge of education and the charter shook world, Brooklyn Prospect is the place to be.

Cons

Work/life balance is a challenge, you need to have clear boundaries (which most people respect and honor) Your experience may shift depending on who is your department head, my department head was a treasure trove of knowledge and compassion. I learned a lot about restorative justice and teacher moves from her.

Pros

Excellent talent acquisition; administration knows how to build a great team of peers. High-quality student interactions. Good pay, which leadership leverages via counter-offers to prevent turnover.

Cons

Leadership prioritizes high-level metrics over daily operational efficiency and employee well-being. Inconsistent management practices and clear issues with favoritism. Administration relies heavily on current corporate/educational buzzwords without implementing substantive systemic solutions.
