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.

A Place to Stretch and Grow!

Pros

Leadership puts a lot of faith in and responsibility on individual staff members. As non-teaching staff we have a lot of responsibility over our own growth and development, which is well supported by management. If you are hard working and full of ideas, this is a great place to build a career.

Cons

Work loads occasionally can get overwhelming, especially in support functions. Supportive colleagues and leadership that listens to concerns helps alleviate this.

Decent Student Results Mask Underlying Issues

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.
