Pros

Rigorous curriculum and I enjoy being around the students. I love the core virtues that we include in our daily culture. These schools allow our scholars to think deeply and discover truth on their own, which is important.

Cons

Teacher pay is very, very low considering the amount of time we put in, especially with the lengthy evaluations we must complete during our breaks. The Great Hearts leadership team are clearly very conservative Christians/Catholics and their personal beliefs have a negative impact on the way the schools are operated. Teacher recruitment is very bad and results in a terrible teacher turnover rate.

Pros

Great Benefits like insurance with Blue cross blue shield.

Cons

The pay is not worth it for the of work and the coworkers aren't the best of people. Overall very stressful environment to work in which led to very high turnover rate of teachers. They would hire fresh out of college graduates with no experience in teaching and just drop them in to learn as they go.
