Oakmont Education

What is the best part of working at the company?
Oakmont Education is a mission-driven organization where people genuinely believe in the work they’re doing. There’s a strong, shared focus on students, and that purpose shows up in day-to-day decisions across the organization.

Compensation is competitive, and the benefits package is solid. One of the most exciting aspects is the leadership—it's a young, energetic management team that’s making a real impact and gaining traction in the charter school space.

A big pro is the opportunity to truly influence the organization. Because of the growth and expansion, employees have the ability to shape processes, contribute ideas, and help mold the future direction of the company.

That said, with rapid growth comes some challenges. There can be inconsistencies and growing pains as systems and structures continue to evolve.

Overall, it’s a great place for someone who is passionate about education, motivated by impact, and excited to be part of a growing organization.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
As a young and rapidly growing organization, there are often a high number of initiatives happening at once. While the ambition and drive are exciting, it can sometimes feel like everything is treated as a top priority. This can create pressure and make it difficult to focus deeply or execute at the highest level across all areas. As systems and processes continue to mature, clearer prioritization and alignment will help reduce this stress and make the work even more effective.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The best part of the culture is that it’s clear everyone genuinely cares and is deeply committed to student success.

It is great to be employed at a place where the work is so rewarding!  How wonderful it is to help young people achieve their dreams and to be part of their happiness when they earn their diplomas.  The pride that they feel in themselves, and that is echoed in the faces and tears of their family members is amazing to see - we are truly changing lives.  Oakmont is very driven to do the best they can for our students, and we are supported every step of the way.   The hardest part of the job is getting reluctant learners to engage in their learning and complete enough assignments each day.  However, once they get going and see how a diploma is truly within their grasp, it is great to see them become self-motivated and take ownership of their future!

Oakmont manages multiple schools. The main goal is clearly number and metric focused. It’s apparent in that they will enroll any student regardless of the students match to a Drop out Recovery program. Additionally, if you have a good Director the staff remains happy, if not then the staff moral remains low. They will pay for any supplies you need with in reason which sets them apart from most schools. Teaching staff only gets July off so it can feel like a very long year. The salary is comparable to public schools but will never reach a comparable rate after multiple years of service. The focus is Career Tech Education and not academics. CTE teachers have a more support and resources than academic teachers. Additionally the HR resources are minimal and disorganized. The Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits are not good and very little was ever covered.

Oakmont is a great company that truly believes in student success in the classroom and beyond. Not only are students able to earn their high school diploma, but they also have the opportunity to earn an industry credential to position them to be ready to join the workforce immediately after graduation. To be a part of a team that truly understands what students need in order to be successful after graduation, and to offer the training that will set them up to achieve that success, brings so much meaning to my career. 

The hardest part of my job, right now, is the impact that COVID has had on our teams and students.

The most enjoyable part of my job is being able to travel to different schools across Ohio to work with our teams.

The students are the heart of the building and the staff are like family. We all work collaboratively to support our students academically and emotionally. The most enjoyable part of the job is the positive relationships we build with the students. The hardest part of the job is also the most rewarding part of the job...GRADUATION! It's the moment where you feel like a proud parent because you know just how hard they've worked to reach that goal. You're also sad that it's time for them to move on...but they come back and visit sometimes. I truly enjoy working for Oakmont Education and working with my work family at my building.  

Oakmont Education is easily the best organization! The team is diverse, hard-working and has become family. And, we're making a difference for kids! Nothing makes you happier than working for and with people that you enjoy spending time with on a regular basis, especially when the work means something. Most people spend more time at work versus home and when the people accept you for who are you and regularly praise your efforts, you've hit the jackpot. The work we do helps kids across the state of Ohio and I truly enjoy coming to work everyday.

Oakmont provides challenges, flexibility, encouragement and an opportunity to change student lives! The hardest part of the job-not have a “cookie cutter” work day, and the best part of the job, is, not having “a cookie cutter” work day. I appreciate the challenges and triumphs that each day brings; knowing that we are making a difference. 

Nothing is perfect but it is better than anywhere else I have ever been. I have never had so many perks and rewards and so much communication with upper management. I love that we are able to reward students for their hard work as well. The environment is very family like and I enjoy the fact that even though I am exhausted at the end of the day, I love who I have working by my side.

At Frederick Douglass high school, part of Oakmont Education, teachers truly care about their students. It is a good place to work in that the work is rewarding. Nothing is better than witnessing a student succeed. This workplace values its employees and even offers an incentive program for a job well done.

Being at Oakmont has the tightly-knit family feeling that makes work feel a lot less like... work. It's extremely clear the company puts the students' best interests first and offers a lot of support to every employee to ensure everyone is not only good at their job, but also happy. You really couldn't ask for a better company or cause to work for.
