the worst people i have ever worked with

Technician (Former Employee) - Aurora, CO - May 31, 2023

if you like drama and horses**t in your evry day schedule this is the place. the bosses are week and cowardly. coworkers are not very cordial very stuck up people working here company is not bad but they have let the wrong people stay in power to long what i learned was that this company likes people who pass the buck and make excuses. I really wish this job was different but it wasnt i regret everyday that i spent two years putting up with the drama in the shop, not a fan and would not recommend this job to my worst enemy

Pros

workload is light, no pressure.

Cons

Bad pay, no training

Behavior Technician (Former Employee) - Cherry Creek - April 24, 2023

Bad pay. No training whatsoever. Treated as a para even though it wasn’t my job.High turnover.Was told I’d be traveling the district working with kids. Instead I was stuck at a preschool because they couldn’t get staff in for the bad pay they offer.

Ok

Teacher (Former Employee) - Aurora, CO - April 14, 2023

The experience was ok. I really wish the district would raise the pay for teachers. The insurance is a little pricey as well. Overall not a bad experience.

Kids are great. No support from administration

Before and After Director (Former Employee) - Aurora, CO - March 2, 2023

The kids in the district are great, and parents take an active role in developing their children which helps in the school setting. However when problems arose there is no help from administration within the school or district.

Culture

Paraprofessional (Former Employee) - Aurora, CO - January 11, 2023

Fantastic environment . Like a huge family all working together for the greater good. Not as diverse as one would hope for but it’s getting there. All departments seem pretty nice as well

Stressful overworked and low wages

Technology Analyst (Former Employee) - Aurora, CO - January 7, 2023

Poor management, great co workers always willing to help! Managers are indifferent and all about the numbers. Poor pay, only once a month and the medical is expensive!

Administration doesn’t care about kids or teachers

Educator (Current Employee) - Aurora, CO - November 30, 2022

The district states they are kid centered but they are not. Teachers who advocate for their kids are never supported by admin and shot down. The district leadership at the school level parrots the superintendent for teachers taking care of themselves and then when mental health days are taken, administrators make comments and send emails to the teachers about being out and not being there for the students. The whole culture is toxic and very nepotistic. Some department heads hire all their family members, play favorites and create resentment and low morale. Most people are just there for a paycheck at this point because their souls have been sucked out trying to provide for their students and getting abused by the administrators, parents and students.This district destroys any sense of pride in the public education system and needs to change drastically to keep up with new education needs and actually supporting their staff to make positive changes.

Pros

Pay and teammates

Cons

Admin, parents, the facade of caring for anything except politics/money/abusing the taxpayers dollars

nothing

Assistant Supervisor (Former Employee) - Greenwood Village, CO 80111 - November 18, 2022

zero leadership, less than zero communication, the only thing management cared about was their own paycheck. if you want to be treated like a rented mule this is the place for you

Pros

you can come to work and do almost nothing for weeks and get away with it

Site-Based

Teacher (Former Employee) - Aurora, CO - October 29, 2022

While CCSD is fairly uniform in its school offerings and adherence to board policy, experiences for teachers vary greatly from site to site largely based on resources of the immediate community.

Middle of the road place to work

Educational Assistant (Former Employee) - Greenwood Village, CO - October 29, 2022

Support at the school has dropped over the years. Poor compensation for a difficult, strenuous and difficult job. Lonely place to work unless you are “in the club” and in with the right people. Great supports for kids with loving adults. Teachers do an amazing job to be inclusive of all, make work fun.

Terrible HR!

Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) (Former Employee) - Englewood, CO - September 26, 2022

Horrible HR! If you have a question and need to call, the answer will depend on who you talk to! Got different answers for the same question from different people! Awful hiring process! The job itself was ok and school schedule was good!

Supportive Work Environment

Overworked and underpaid is the understatement of the year

Office Manager (Former Employee) - Denver, CO - July 14, 2022

The school I worked at was great, but the district as a whole is a nightmare. Avoid it like the plague. Terrible pay, staff are severely overworked, and district executives and decision makers are ineffective and frequently sweep things under the rug. I worked two jobs simultaneously for an entire year because they refused to increase wages or do anything else to incentivize hiring. No increase in pay for doing the work of multiple people. RUN.

Pros

School level administrators and staff were great to work with

Cons

Terrible pay, insufficient and ineffective training, staff are constantly overworked

Great people, pay not good

Specialist (Former Employee) - Miscellaneous - June 28, 2022

Work life balance good. Coworkers great! Job pays less than market value. There has to be a way that people are valued for their work in other areas than teachers who get all kinds of extra pay, but others in support positions do not get the same benefits.

Poor management

Occupational Therapist (Current Employee) - Aurora, CO - May 6, 2022

Very unorganized as a school district in general. No communication from management and no opportunities for feedback from your school principal. No real room for growth within the district.
