Endeavor Schools reviews

In less than 9 months, this organization has gone from a “trust and inspire” culture to one driven by micromanagement and chaos. What was once a place that valued collaboration, trust, and empowerment has become stifled by top-down control and fear-based decision-making. Since the leadership change, there has been an exodus of talented individuals — HR, COO, Marketing, Facilities, and many others — all gone in a matter of months. Change was needed, but not like this. The way it’s been handled has created instability, confusion, and a loss of morale across the board. School Leadership teams are doing their best to hold things together, but even they’re being squeezed by unrealistic demands from the new regime. The “board” leadership team doesn’t seem to understand the childcare industry or the importance of trusting and supporting educators. It’s all about numbers now — growth at any cost — and that short-sighted approach has put the organization and its mission at real risk.

Poor leadership over all. Extreme favoritism shown by school leaders. Teachers allowed to bully other teachers. Enrollment is the only priority. Bad leaders stay in place if their enrollment numbers are meet, even if staff turn over is high. Upper management never comes on site. Very disconnected to what really occurs at their schools.
