Success Academy Charter Schools Reviews

Pros

Well paying, nice coworkers, summers off

Cons

The school’s culture is to neglect everything it necessary for high test scores. Everything is a number

Pros

The curriculum is already made and the scholars are amazing

Cons

Feels like a start up and there’s SO much work

Pros

Working here gives me a chance to have a great work life balance.

Cons

More incentives need to be given to boost moral. For example leaving work early on days that there are no scholars will help.

Pros

Management in the Technology department is so inept you can work whatever hours you want (can only speak for the Technology department).

Cons

There are exceptions, but this company largely employs the inept (older, management level professionals who are simply not adept at managing employees and navigating corporate politics and strategy) and the inexperienced (young inexperienced workers new in their career that are unable to handle inept management). This creates a recipe where terrible decisions are made at the top and then employees must fight through intra- and inter-departmental obstacles. This description applies to the vast majority of the Network office. Literally any employee in the Tech department with any real talent or career drive has left. 1) The word “toxic environment” takes on a whole new meaning. 2) Complete failure for project planning means you don’t actually advance your career in comparison to real companies 3) Your skill sets will suffer as you will work for inept management that is incapable of not blocking you at every possible way. 4) Emotions run high. Expect situations where senior level professionals will throw tantrums when things don’t go their way This place is for those who can’t survive or thrive at a mature company with intelligent, adept professionals.

Pros

You leave work knowing that no matter what happened during the coarse of a day, you made positive impact on the lives of several children by providing them a safe, loving environment focused on a laying the foundation for how to critically think. If you're a goal oriented person who believes in selfless service, Success Academy Flatbush is the place for you. Family environment!!Tremendous mentorship.

Cons

You may find yourself involved in several spirited charter vs public school discussions with fellow education professionals or family members. Don't worry, you'll have plenty of data to back up your position.
