Pros

There are no pros for a company that practices hypocrisy - good values on paper but racist practices on a daily basis.

Cons

-Racial epithets used to refer to students on a daily basis -Front-line staff ordered to work at night, weekends, on their commute, etc, to meet unrealistic goals -Front-line staff, all people of color, constantly referred to as "field hands" -Front-line staff, all people of color, ordered to serve food to senior staff/board members during annual event, and not allowed to eat, drink, or sit during duration of entire event Here are a few quotes said to front-line staff or students by senior staff members: "In this country, there is a thing called professional, and natural black hair is not that." "I never realized you weren't white, I don't see skin color." "Are any of you illegals?" (speaking to a group of students) "Don't feel nervous, you're black and I'm sure they have a quota to fill." (speaking to a young student before his boarding school interview)
