Pros

Students who work hard at participating in the educational process.

Cons

If you plan to be a career educator, DO NOT teach at Basis. The corporate human resource policy at Basis prohibits its managers from providing a reference for a former teacher. Basis will only verify a teacher's employment dates. This business like corporate approach does not work in education. Teachers need references. If a teacher leaves Basis, they cannot get a teaching reference from Basis; therefore, from a career perspective, time spent teaching at Basis results in wasted time. Unless an educator plans to spend their entire teaching career at Basis, they should NOT teach at Basis. When Basis attempts to hire an experienced teacher, Basis managers will check teaching references. But Basis DOES NOT provide the same professional courtesy. Thus, Basis management DOES NOT respect educators as professionals with careers.

Pros

I worked at multiple campuses. I was at my first campus in Chander for 5 years. I started on the academic side and the academic team was amazing, supportive and really all had the same mission. The principal and admin team and teachers were all amazing to work with and the students were phenomenal!

Cons

After transitioning to Operations and interacting more with senior managers, it quickly became apparent they just wanted someone in the role, not someone who would take the job seriously. You often felt blamed for whistleblowing. Also the level of autonomy across campuses causes a very uninformed approach to handing anything when you change campuses. My last campus was Peoria and the admin was very unsupportive and incapable of addressing and resolving issues. It was a very unprofessional and unfriendly place to work and respect was non-existent across the building, including teachers, parents and students. There was no respect for your time outside of school hours. Not a good role for anyone with a family and the hours worked and salary paid are very uneven. Admin also often made culturally inappropriate jokes. HR is there to protect the company not to really resolve or mediate.
