Pros

Most coworkers are incredibly smart, interesting and dedicated. The kids, obviously.

Cons

Rampant and unapologetic brain-washing. You'll question your reality.

Achievement First Response
7y
Thank you for your review … it was certainly vivid, and enough to let us know that you didn’t have the experience we’d want all our team members to have (questioning assumptions = great, but questioning reality is not what we’re going for!). But, it was a little short on the type of detail that would give us a better sense of how to act on it. If you’re willing to reach out at tomkaiser@achievementfirst.org then I promise nothing but gratitude and no cult-like overtures. So that glassdoor users know, our retention last year was 82% across our schools, which IS too low in our eyes and something we are working actively.
