Educational Non-profit - Program Coordinator Teach Plus Employee Review

Mission-driven company Get to work with teachers

Always a tension between creating space to empower teachers and the constraints facing them in doing the work given all their responsibilities

I made my own schedule. My colleagues in other departments were great.

Management practices often felt overly focused on micromanagement rather than meaningful support. Compensation was not competitive, and there were limited incentives or recognition for high-quality performance. The role required carrying the responsibilities of what felt like three separate positions, with minimal tangible guidance or structural support. Much of the work operated in silos, and “support” often translated into increased oversight rather than collaboration. Additionally, the role required a significant number of evening and weekend commitments through mandatory events and programming.
