Pros

Working with kids is great, some of the staff are wonderful and dedicated. They are understanding about family emergencies and the like. The pay is higher than other similar organizations.

Cons

You're expected to volunteer a great deal of your time. If you're not part of the inner circle, you are expendable. Raises are rare and far apart, no matter how hard you work. Competent people are given more and more to do while incompetent people just skate by with no consequences. It's a very toxic workplace. It takes 20 times more effort to get anything done than it should due to bad management. In my new job, I've felt more appreciated and rewarded in a few months than I did with YEARS at STAR.

Pros

Other teachers are great. Thats literally the only positive thing to say.

Cons

Terrible lead teachers. They hire people with absolutely no skill or knowledge in the subjects they are supposed to teach. Don’t pay nearly enough and have very limited hours available. Expect you to drive to schools far away and will not pay for gas/mileage. Expect you to have full availability whenever they want you and get upset when you are not available at their beck and call.
