Toxic Work Environment - Educational Facilitator Element Education Employee Review

If you're a teacher, do yourself a favor and don't work here because they treat teachers as though they are expendable. Also, the general working environment is poor compared with traditional or private schools. You don't even get your own desk, you usually sit in the kids seats or desks because the school is too cheap, yet the administration and management enjoy a far better work environment with a lot more stability. The work environment is dark, dungy, smells stuffy, isn't very clean, and is very uncomfortable. You'll be bombarded with constant and repetitive meetings and training covering the same stuff till no end, and you'll be asked to drive everywhere. If you dare disagree with anything management says or does, or so much as make the wrong face, you'll get terminated without warning, and management will almost always refuse to give you a reference or reference letter. For students this is also hard because they are kids and don't understand why there is always a new teacher. Sometimes the kids know, and out of intimidation, teachers have to try to downplay the obvious. Lastly, the pay is awful compared with traditional schools and even many private schools. Unless you want to ruin your career, don't care about long term employment, and don't mind being cheap, expendable labor, don't waste your skill and talent here. A traditional school, or even a private school will be a better and less toxic place to work any day. Even a corporate job is more stable and less toxic. A good work place builds you up, and doesn't bully you with constant termination threats. If you fall victim to one of their surprise terminations, it may be very hard to recover. The lucky ones quit before it happens to them.
