      Pros

      Very good place to start your career as a teacher as they walk you through with scripted lesson plans

      Cons

      Workday from 7.15 am Watch kids as they come in , eat breakfast , watch them during lunch ( teachers standing the whole time ) and dismiss them outside even in freezing weather . Only rain dismissal is inside. Fridays kids leave at 12 , teachers have to go for boring PD where no one is really listening . Dismissal is 4:15 p and they call it early dismissal . Otherwise there are meetings till 5 pm .

      Pros

      Uncommon Schools is a really positive, warm environment. People work hard and have tons of joy in their collaboration!

      Cons

      We are growing quickly, so the work load is busy! This isn't really a con, just something for new folks to be aware of :)
