Toxic work environment

Business Manager (Former Employee) - San Jose, CA - May 19, 2023

Unrealistic work expectations and toxic environment. SLT is out of touch and don’t hold themselves accountable. No onboarding, training or support. Avoid this place by all means.

Stay away from this place

Teacher (Former Employee) - San Jose, CA - February 19, 2023

Stay away from this place, teachers are under valued and every staff is over worked. The network has unrealistic expectations and they don't care about their employees. Everyone, is over worked while those in upper management work remotely. STAY AWAY, everything looks great on paper but when you get to the school sites it's a mess.

Pros

None

Cons

No breaks, over worked, under staffed

Fun working environment

Talent Associate (Current Employee) - CMO - January 24, 2023

This is a family oriented company, where the values are present all the time. This company is very flexible with employees, and it provides great support.

Possibillites for moving up

Assistant Teacher (Current Employee) - Morgan Hill, CA - July 22, 2022

Nice place to work, you are able to move up if desired. Trainings are offered to every employee.There is a lot of parent involvement, along with working with other community agencies. It is very structured, currently they are in a buisness building, they will soon have their own campus.

Unsupportive and hostile environment.

Employee (Former Employee) - Central Office - November 26, 2019

Management staff are not supportive. Concerns are never addressed when brought to their attention. The mission statement of the organization may seem appealing, but it soon becomes clear that the organization cares more about expanding than it does about the community it serves. I would not recommend working here.

Enjoyable

Office Assistant (Former Employee) - San Jose, CA - September 30, 2019

A typical day at work was printing homework sheets, covering for teachers during lunch and recess, and data entry. The best part of the job was talking with the kids, hearing them discuss amongst themselves their favorite shows or what they want to do when they get older. The business manager and the principal ran this school in the best way possible. I learned how to do data entry and work a very large printer. The hardest part of the job was leaving, after graduation.

Work Culture

Business Clerk (Former Employee) - San Jose, CA - September 20, 2019

Bad working culture. Politically structure. Reasons are not thoroughly given to you when they decide to let you go. Some of the staff member are wonderful. Nevertheless most of the upper management do not work well with others.

Mission Driven Schools

Dual Immersion Teacher (Current Employee) - San Jose, CA - August 12, 2019

Voices is great because all of its staff are very dedicated to providing their students and community with a high-quality education. Most people are social justice driven and take their work very personally. The work is tough but very rewarding especially if you are very invested in your community.

Mission Driven.

Director of Accounting (Current Employee) - San Jose, CA 95127 - July 5, 2018

Organization is growing, there are many systems that still need to be documented and shared among the organization. So there has been some growing pains.
