Pros

I worked at multiple campuses. I was at my first campus in Chander for 5 years. I started on the academic side and the academic team was amazing, supportive and really all had the same mission. The principal and admin team and teachers were all amazing to work with and the students were phenomenal!

Cons

After transitioning to Operations and interacting more with senior managers, it quickly became apparent they just wanted someone in the role, not someone who would take the job seriously. You often felt blamed for whistleblowing. Also the level of autonomy across campuses causes a very uninformed approach to handing anything when you change campuses. My last campus was Peoria and the admin was very unsupportive and incapable of addressing and resolving issues. It was a very unprofessional and unfriendly place to work and respect was non-existent across the building, including teachers, parents and students. There was no respect for your time outside of school hours. Not a good role for anyone with a family and the hours worked and salary paid are very uneven. Admin also often made culturally inappropriate jokes. HR is there to protect the company not to really resolve or mediate.

Pros

Many of the students are wonderful and highly capable of matching the workload required.

Cons

First BASIS is a cult. They will try and indoctrinate you into the BASIS robotic system. BASIS is about two things money, and the BASIS brand. If you’re a highly seasoned teacher and you enjoy being micromanaged. BASIS is a good fit. The experience I found was BASIS has no use for anybody who steps out of line and won’t teach in the robotic stats run program BASIS requires. While many of the students are wonderful. There are many who are highly disruptive. Do not expect anything to be done about this as the students run the show at BASIS. Administration is terrified of parents removing their kids and will do anything to make sure this does not happen. Once you cross the line the administration will systematically work to remove you. The place was a revolving door of staff as well as teachers. This was seen as normal and nothing to be alarmed over. Frankly the whole BASIS model is built around the brand which if you pull back the curtain there isn’t much there. If you stay in hold you’ll move up as the qualifications it takes to move up within BASIS is nonexistent. It’s all about did you hold the BASIS brand. The whole origination is built around people with very little experience or education.
