I met some great people working there,

Cons

Employees are overworked, no one took our department serious, always being disrespected, unable to use pto when we wanted to because there was always a blackout schedule.

Thank you for providing your feedback. We value a positive and inclusion working environment for all employees. Please share your specific concerns and insights with our leadership so we can investigate what may have transpired with respect to the use of your PTO. Email feedback to HRFeedback@greathearts.org. Finding balance in a work environment is a collective effort on the part of administration and the employees, and that partnership is not always aligned at times. We appreciate your input on this issue.

Pros

Open to critiques which cultivates an environment for open communication.

Cons

There is a full team of admin and the structure doesn't seem to be in place so it is not uncommon to get different directions from different members of administration.

We appreciate your constructive comments about the culture at your Great Hearts academy. Thanks for your constructive feedback regarding our school leadership. We acknowledge that there are always areas of improvement for Great Hearts, including retention and recruitment of experienced and highly competent administrators. As with any school leadership role, the leadership competencies at Great Hearts are broad in scope, and in addition, we value leaders who bring the classical liberal arts vision to bear on the culture and community. That broad scope is challenging for any one person to balance, but the network invests fully in leadership development and also utilizes faculty and family surveys to help leaders develop a greater awareness for the areas of growth.
