Overworked, consistently stressed. - Teacher Universal Companies Employee Review

Pros

Pay is higher than most.

Cons

Constantly being told that you're "supported" when you really aren't. There is nobody to listen when you're having a difficult time. Jam packed classrooms, unqualified people in the building. School is currently up for charter renewal, and I hope it closes.

Pros

Consistent and positive leadership. The pay is commensurate with the district and better than some surrounding suburban districts. People stay here, unlike many charters.... and if they leave, they tend to come back.

Cons

There are high expectations for teachers; people that don't like that are usually unhappy. I think we need a better gym for our kids and we have some staffing holes that means several people are doing more in order to fill holes.

Pros

Off during summers Great benefits Work-life balance is good if you know how to say no

Cons

Administration lacks consistency in direction The organization is quite top heavy The hierarchy structure is confusing for this role There is very little incentive to go above and beyond. You're locked into a 3% year over year raise regardless if you perform exceptionally well or barely hit the marks
