      Fear Culture - Anonymous employee Communities In Schools Employee Review

      Pros

      They honestly do very good work for the community and help kids. It's just the the administration doesn't understand how to lead.

      Cons

      This is absolutely the worst work environment that I have even been a part of. A complete fear culture. There was very little training, and then they would berate you when you did anything wrong. Management and HR were the worst. HR would belittle people, telling them that they were stupid or incompetent. Management would do anything to throw others under the bus. If you made any sort of compliant about the work environment you were told that you just weren't mission driven enough. Very high turnover rate.

      Pros

      - Lots of autonomy to build the program at your school in the way you see fit. - Get lots of random days off due to following school schedule - Able to build valuable relationships with students and their families

      Cons

      - Not very much room to grow with company - Pay is very low while workload is high which can lead to increased burnout - experience, degrees, and licenses do not get you additional compensation because they are "not required" to do the job. - Lots of required trainings throughout the year that do not feel applicable to you if you have worked there more than 2 years. - Constantly changing workload requirements every year - Have to work through summer even when school is out so you really only get 2-3 weeks of summer break where as school staff gets a whole two months. - CEO does not seem to care about employees' but instead only outcomes.
