They also do ...
ProsThere are great opportunities to advance and there is a family like environment
ConsThere is no work life balance.

What do employees say about KIPP DC's culture and work-life balance?
Learn a lot, long hours
I worked for KIPP for a couple years as a Lead Teacher and definitely learned a great deal about what great teaching can look like. However, the hours are very long and the culture is very competitive. The administration and organization, depending on your school, can be a little disorganized and unclear.
ProsDecent pay for area, positive work environment
ConsLong hours, underappreciated, high stress
