Great community, but can be a tricky workplace if it's not a right fit - Assistant Director Polytechnic School Employee Review

Pros

An incredible community of wonderful people - the employees and the families/kids! They also offer a good bit of flexibility as you grow.

Cons

The flexibility is great on the surface, but proves to be tricky. Without a defined role, you end up doing a lot outside of your job description (if you even get a job description). A lot of voices weighing in on how the school should be run which means sometimes you feel like your being pulled in eight different directions. Staff are treated less than faculty are treated less than administration are treated less than board members are treated less than parents/students. In other words, the hierarchy is Parents/Students --> Board Members --> Administration --> Faculty --> Staff. It's easy to feel under-valued. Especially as staff.

Pros

Amazing school with fabulous teachers who love and care about what they do and the students they serve; great facilities and campus; great resources. The students WANT to learn and are a joy to be around.

Cons

Leadership seems to be deaf to their own lack of transparency and biased behaviors; they often put bandaids over issues rather than really dealing with the problem or challenge; the school's history and legacy do not seem to be valued by newer leadership; workloads are often unmanageable and unsustainable across various divisions and departments (heard over and over again from many colleagues about how their work consumed their lives and their families and happiness suffered).
