Disappointing

Pros

Working with kids and the other teachers are great!

Cons

Upper management is consistently looking who to blame instead of coming up with solutions. Very little if any support from leaders. There is a lot of favoritism and politics. Be cautious if you decide to work here and get everything in writing.

Poor leadership

Pros

The students are amazing, they make the job worth it. They are some great staff members that make you feel welcome.

Cons

A lot of miscommunication between staff members and leadership. At first, they bring you in with high expectations of the culture but in reality if you’re not a family member or friend you’ll feel like an outcast. The leadership tends to put a lot of pressure on their staff but doesn’t communicate effectively on events, issues, and any important information that a staff member should know in order to do their job. They don’t provide appropriate training, you’re practically thrown into the job. They also tend to make you do multiple jobs even if they’re not in your title. The pay is very minimum for the amount of work they make you do. Additionally, you’re not allowed to speak Spanish around non-Spanish speakers. The leadership is very conservative. Career opportunities are low unless someone in the administration likes you. Overall, I had very high hopes for Beta but it is by far one of the worst places I’ve worked for.

Pros

Leadership spares no expense to ensure scholars are provided a high quality education so scholars obtain academic success.

Cons

It is a Charter School so they do not receive all the state funding a typical ISD receives. It impacts their ability to pay high salaries. However, what leadership can’t do in salary they make up for in providing a positive work environment.
