Pros

Most people are really friendly and create a great working atmosphere. Lots of love for the students and willingness to do whatever it takes. Also a great new principal is coming in who seems very competent and caring. She will likely take good care of the employees she has left.

Cons

…well the “budget” for the school kept getting worse and worse and suddenly there were tons of layoffs mid year. Everyone blindsided. Then many of us were told our jobs were safe…then they weren’t…then they were and now just today, two weeks before school starts, boom more people laid off. Something was embarrassingly mismanaged but no one knows exactly what because there is no actual transparency from the top. So if not knowing whether you have a job or not day to day is for you, you’ve come to the right place.

Pros

I worked at CCA for almost 3 years, in different capacities. Administration does a great job of keeping professional (making sure all HR laws are followed) and trying to make accommodations for the staff who need it. It’s a great place for teachers who are first starting to teach because they’ll be partnered with a coach in their teaching subject and a manager. It’s also great for working parents; most staff are parents themselves and understand when last min things come up. CCA also does a great job of offering competitive pay. My previous job at a charter school paid me $20,000 for the same 10 years experience I had; I left to CCA the first chance I got! I met some of my dearest friends and am sad to say goodbye. I would love to work at CCA if I was to relocated back to Sacramento.

Cons

No school is perfect and CCA is no exception. New teachers may complain about all the responsibilities they have to complete. However, most experienced teachers will thrive at this school. CCA has high expectations for staff and students; staff either meets them or they don’t.

Colleagues were amazing and everyone was there for the kids.

Honestly the same cons that come along with working in education generally.
