Pros
Health Insurance and 401k policies are both perks. Salary is at least on par or a couple thousand below public school positions. Good mission and ideals in theory. CS Partners has numerous connections through the community and is notable for hiring many young, enthusiastic teachers. Decent, or on par, resources provided to the students and staff under their umbrella of schools.
Cons
Opaque budgets, poor management, nepotism, very unorganized, questionable business practices, and relative inexperience of staff. There is little room to move-up, whether it be salary or job title, at CS Partners. Employment fluctuates far too much to guarantee security for their employees. Employees' wages are low for the amount of work that is required and expected of them throughout the year. There have also been numerous instances where employees were either laid off or had their hours reduced and health insurance cancelled with no warning for "budget reasons". Many of their schools have been closed or left to dry due to budget constraints which puts the staff, students, and families in a bit of a pickle.
