Pros

A wonderful organization to work for based on the demographic served and some of my coworkers are great.

Cons

Central administration doesn’t have their ducks in a row, Sylvia is ALWAYS asking for money, even from staff this year, we are UNDERPAID for what we do( physical aggression from students, body fluids smeared on us etc ). There is no sense of urgency amongst interpersonal relationships that impact programming. Under qualified individuals in positions of “power”.

Pros

The staff are highly dedicated to each student's education and excel at keeping both students and staff safe. They also maintain excellent communication with families.

Cons

The higher-ups often interfere unnecessarily, taking over responsibilities instead of allowing department leaders to take the lead, and they lack the ability to guide others to success—opting instead to control everything. They also mismanage finances, frequently asking for more money, and have a habit of taking credit for others' ideas without giving proper recognition.
