Pros

- Students/families enrolled in the program are brilliant - Teams work collaboratively to solve challenges/brainstorm new ideas - Most staff are deeply invested in work

Cons

- Leadership is ineffective (vision is uninspiring and rooted in white supremacist values, leadership's communication is evasive or nonexistent, Board is not held accountable to speak respectfully about students/staff) - Leaders do not treat staff as valued experts, and do not appreciate when staff ask questions about org strategy/policies in all-staff meetings - Compensation is not very competitive
