Pros

- Decent health care coverage and benefits - Work/life balance (at least at the Home Office) - Org wide closures (3 weeks of the year)

Cons

- Biased compensation policies - Biased remote work policies - Lack of career growth opportunities - General favoritism among the Home Office Teams (Talent and IT teams are heavily favored - most of the leaders on these teams are remote, consistently receive raises vs. other teams, and are the only teams with consistent career growth opportunities)

Pros

Uncommon Schools is a really positive, warm environment. People work hard and have tons of joy in their collaboration!

Cons

We are growing quickly, so the work load is busy! This isn't really a con, just something for new folks to be aware of :)
