Business Outlook

Pros

Very organized company. The curriculum is well planned, organized and constantly updated. Teachers know what to teach and when. All the different departments in the District provide great timely service that allow for quick problem solving and less lost instructional time.

Cons

Few opportunities to grow due to the small size of the organization. To really get a job with more responsibility someone must recommend you. This schema limits those employees who focus just on work instead of socializing from advancing on their career.

Business Outlook

Pros

I was given the opportunity to work for the Library Services department, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. My supervisors and coworkers were encouraging and resourceful, and I was given the opportunity to work on multiple campuses, giving me a uniquely diverse experience.

Cons

I wish there had been a full-time position open in the department, they wanted me to stay, but I had to move on to a permanent full-time position. They provided strong recommendations, sealing my chances of getting the job that I now work at!
