I had to take 3 interviews, two with corporate managers and one with the CEO before I was offered a poor paying job.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Better management, better pay, better benefits. The teachers at the school get a very small portion of money that is paid for lessons. It is quite heinous.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

They need to adequately support their managers and stop underpaying all of their employees. We have poor benefits and are expected to live and breathe the job for below average pay.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

As I said, corporate needs to be understanding of the individual needs of each unique school. This is not a cookie cutter business that they are trying to push on us.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

10 days paid time off per year, that includes sick time. It simply isn't enough considering most weeks we work 50-60 hours. Our bonus plan was just changed to punish under performing school instead of trying to encourage growth.

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

We need more diverse leadership to be provided to the managers of individual schools. You cannot have someone in an extremely populous area on the west coast telling someone what will work for a midwest school. It is very naive to think the approach will be the same.
