There is high turnover in her office and for good reason -- working for or closely with Sarahjoy is toxic. At first, you might think she is a brilliant teacher and working for her is a dream. Yes, she has carefully crafted an elegant approach to the way that she teaches. However, if you get to know what lies beyond that facade, it will be deeply disappointing. After some time working with her more closely, you will slowly start to recognize that she is not the persona she portrays to her students -- she is manipulative, disrespectful, controlling, completely unwilling to receive feedback, and talks poorly about people (students, teachers, and employees) behind their backs. She displays strong narcissistic characteristics. For anyone thinking about working for or with her in any capacity, my advice is do so with extreme caution. When she likes you, she likes you. In fact, she chooses favorites (and cycles through them). But then something will happen (and believe me, it likely will) where she becomes suspicious of your intentions (and you might not have even a clear idea of what you did "wrong"), it will not be a pleasant experience. Take my word for it, or the word of over 25 people in the past decade that have worked closely with her that have had similar experiences.
