Fortune School of Education

Where do I start? Management is disrespectful and immature. Home office will not help you if you need to file a complaint. No growth, no opportunities. Teachers end up quitting every year, mainly the winter and summer time. They say they value the work that you do, but that's a complete lie. I resigned because of management and the people at home office. If they weren't willing to help you then there's no point of working at a school that allows immature and disrespectful management. Everyone at home office is to busy sitting in their cubicles with their face glued to their computers, that they never sat down once with the employees and asked how their experiences are at the schools and with management. It was very sad for to me to leave the students.

Pros

The kids are amazing. The other teachers are a joy. There is a level of shared trauma amongst us all. Life is hard, being managed by politicians and social climbers is harder. But... when you love what you do, you hang in there as long as you can.

Cons

This company has the potential to do amazing things in the communities they serve. Unfortunately, as with all American educational institutions, they are failing their families and employees in favor of profit.

Advice to Management

Take better care of your workers. Not just your salaried teachers and admin. EVERYONE is there because they believe in the vision. Not the one you think you are feeding us... the one where we actually care about our communities and want to see them do better despite being treated poorly by you and your poorly trained admin.



I have never worked in a more stressful environment. All of the administrative staff move in a cohesive mannerism that is set up against you. The culture is toxic; you will feel like you are slowly dying every work day. The students  in surrounding classrooms are wild, uncontrollable, and disrespectful. Basically students will be able to get away with any and everything and admin will just tell you to write a report. They will do nothing with the report. They feed the kids garbage and they keep you locked in the school almost like a prisoner. I can't even take my students on the grass. Its a nightmare working here and I don't know how anyone survives it long-term. 

I worked for this company for 2 years and decided to part ways. I was stressed out every day and was overloaded despite being told that was guaranteed not to happen. They have some amazing teachers but they take them out of the classroom to higher positions without having someone to fill the available position. Teacher turnover is EXTREMELY high to the point that admin ends up having to go back into the classroom. The consistency overall is lacking and devastating for students.

I worked here as a teacher’s aide and unfortunately had a very negative experience. The environment felt extremely unprofessional, with constant drama among staff and clear favoritism. There were multiple instances where teachers appeared disengaged, and the overall culture did not feel focused on students or education. Not to also mention teachers sleeping around with other teachers / principals. Horrible environment and experience. I would hear complaints from parents all the time. 

I met some AWESOME students and staff at Fortune School of Education.  The working experience was demanding, fast-paced, and uncompromising. I felt stressed out constantly.  The school has no integrity and makes promises that they do not follow through with. However I was strong enough to finish the job I started with the third graders..... ssuccessfulsucccedfifuni

I have never experienced another job as stressful as this one. Just  a few out of control students ruin things for the entire class. The discipline matrix is a joke and not truly adhered to. Many students, who should be expelled, continue to be allowed at school. I have never seen so much aggression and disrespect to this extreme level. These kids have burned out so many amazing staff members and the turnover rate is extremely high. Please be wary if you are considering a job with Fortune.

The lack of administrative support with student behaviors

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Low income - urban community.
The students were respectful, and the school is very clean and structured. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Hard work.
But you can see the payoff when you see the students.

Fortune sets the tone from top down of hard work, organization, and being principled. I always felt supported throughout my role, with great feedback and resources to teach. For a new teacher it provides a great structure to work within. There was some micromanagement and rigidity that made it difficult to adapt to my class’s individual needs as I had been teaching for five years.
