A lost company with in-fighting C-Suite

Pros

The classroom. The education works and what they are doing for children is amazing.

Cons

Sheesh. Upper management is in-fighting. They’ve had more than 5 CEOs in the past 8 years. Even the current one commutes to work from Florida, which doesn’t inspire confidence. From inside reports, the board meetings are often shouting matches.

Pros

vision, curriculum, classical education, culture

Cons

there is no salary schedule; you have first year teachers making more than 3rd or 4th year teachers; you have 1st year teachers making more than teachers with MA. To all teachers at Great Hearts: headmasters ask that you not share your salaries with each other because they are hiding something. What they are hiding is the fact that the salaries are not fair or just. What they are hiding is the fact that salaries are all over the place. Great Hearts considers itself focused on truth, goodness, and beauty. If this were true, there would be transparency of a salary schedule. They say there is a salary schedule, but they do not stick to it. Teachers at GH, ask what your colleagues are making. There you will find the truth.

The schools are great. Everyone works hard to get things done, and the students excel.

Cons

There is little stability in the lead office. People change job titles annually. There is almost no recognition for those who help the larger network. The funding is always a challenge, as district schools continue to receive more financial help, especially on real estate, that our schools do not receive
