Business Outlook
Pros
This job was a chance to do meaningful work in a high-impact field. As a member of the operations team, I helped support some of the best teachers in the city as they did critical work in the community. I would recommend a career at Uncommon to anyone self-driven, passionate about education, and looking to jump right in.
Cons
Uncommon is tackling the sector-wide concerns about sustainability of their work. They are not interested in "churn and burn" approaches to education. While the work hours can be long, the company works hard to make sure you feel supported, valued, and that your work has concrete meaning for children and families.
