Good intentions, not great execution - Teacher Achievement First Employee Review

Pros

I truly believe everyone at AF is there for the children first and foremost. My school could feel like a family at times. Compensation is above market average, especially for newer teachers. Kids are fantastic. Many professional development opportunities.

Cons

There is no work/life balance. If you try to take the space for your own life, you are not seen as a team player. While many teachers here are great, many are catty, and a cliquish, gossipy vibe hits you from many directions. The principal would inconsistently call people out for being late, missing deadlines, etc. I know it's hard to be consistent with that kind of thing, but it's a punch to morale if you get called out and someone else doesn't.
