    Kalau penilaian kinerja pegawai masih kurang objektif better skip, not good for mental & masa depan.
    The good thingsRekan kerja mostly helpful, pengalaman kerja bermakna, skill baru membuat modul dalam waktu kurang dari satu bulan
    The challengesMengintervensi saat mengajar (di salah satu site), dan memberikan penilaian kinerja yang buruk tanpa melibatkan pihak ketiga sehingga penilaian kurang objektif. Penilaian kinerja guru kurang objektif tanpa didasari asesmen yang akurat, ketika diminta asesment tersebut tidak ada bukti apapun, ini rawan terjadi kecurangan like and dislike dengan gaji yang kecil. Mohon untuk penilaian guru diperbaiki dan dibuat seobjektif mungkin tanpa intervensi pihak yang tidak berhak hanya karena sudah lama di site.

    selling education, overworked, underpaid, awful management, doesn't know how to plan.
    The good thingsrekan kerja satu divisi yang cukup open dengan pertanyaan dan cukup bersedia untuk membantu.
    The challenges1. perubahan yang tidak masuk akal based on half-baked ideas. tanpa briefing, tanpa info, tiba-tiba ada event/program yang harus dijalankan. jika lembur atau kerja/acara hari Sabtu, tidak dibayar. diganti dengan bisa early leave, namun kadang tidak bisa juga karena ada jadwal mengajar. tiba-tiba dimention atau ditunjuk sebagai PIC suatu event, lagi-lagi tanpa briefing. semua serba mendadak dan tidak terplanning dengan baik. 2. HR yang buruk. tidak perlu kaget kalau anda mendaftar A dan ketika offering sebagai B. info mid rekrutmen yang berbeda2, kalau bingung suka dilempar dari HR ke HR lain. no transparansi soal gaji. 3. sebagai teachers, terlalu banyak administrasi yg harus dikerjakan & tidak jelas. tidak ada buku, jadi guru=kurikulum. esp. special needs teachers, you'll be doing LOTS. mencantumkan inklusi tapi sangat jelas belum ready untuk inklusi nor they know how to run it, so it becomes the teachers' responsibilities to take care of it as best as they can.

    Lumayan banyak ilmu tp juga cukup sakit hati dr manajemen. Mulai dari gaji kecil namun kerjaan banyak, pemberian keputusan yang tidak jelas sampai dengan sistem yg selalu berubah.
    The good thingsJika kamu sudah menikah dan memiliki anak mungkin Cikal sangat baik untuk ilmu parenting values. Cikal sangat banyak memberi manfaat melalui workshop about "positive discipline".
    The challengesUsia Cikal yang sudah seperempat abad rasanya sayang sekali baru di tahun ini pembangunan fasilitas mulai dilakukan. Ide dan prinsip pedagogi selalu berusaha di update oleh founder tp gak banyak yang bisa paham itu.

    9 to 10 years in the role, current employee
    Selama 10 thn bekerja di Sekolah Cikal, menempa saya menjadi pribadi yang harus tahan banting terhadap semua komplain Customer. Tidak hanya mencari murid sebagai garda terdepan perusahaan, tetapi juga handling complai dan mengedukasi customer dengan dinamika Cikal yang sangat dinamis sengan semua perubahana yang terjadi di dunia.
    The good thingsKarena saya mencintai pekerjaan saya sebagai membership atau bisa disebut education consultant di cikal, banyak hal baik yang saya dapatkan. Melihat dunia pendidikan yang sangat dinamis membuat kita pun harus terbiasa dengan perubahan yang terjadi. Saya berusaha untuk tetap berkolaborasi positif dalam lingkungan kerja yang cepat, dinamis dan sangat update agar tidak tertinggal dengan kemajuan dunia pendidikan.
    The challengesTidak semua customer mempunyai pemahaman literasi yang baik, tugas kita menerangkan berulang-ulang ke mereka. Semua penjelasan itu hrs dilakukan dengan gaya yang berbeda dengan melihat masing-masing karakter dan tingkat pendidikan konsumen yang juga berbeda, meskipun secara statistik ekonomi, mereka semua berada di level SES A atau A+

    Sekolah Cikal memiliki visi mulia, namun eksekusinya luar biasa (challenging)
    The good thingsGuru bebas pakai metode apapun yang dirasa bermanfaat. Guru di encourage untuk terus belajar dan belajar. Semua employee open-minded dan inovatif. Kebanyakan dari employee menunjukkan kemampuan untuk beradaptasi dengan baik. This school has only the best of the best teachers. This is one of only few schools that really focuses on every student.
    The challengesThis company could definitely improve its management and leadership. Lot's of inconsistency, inefficient work, contradictory information. It is a mess in management. Teachers are burdened a lot of time, not by the obligation as teachers, but by abundant administrative tasks that are irrelevant to their roles. This school is the most innovative school I have ever known, yet they often lose the essence of education in the pursuit of that innovative goal.

    A place for those who wants much job desc
    The good thingsThey share adequate benefit. Lunch is provided.
    The challengesThat it always demands long working hour plus endless additional tasks without compensation makes a person lose his personal life already. Though, It is written that a worker should work in 8 hours, your phone will get tons of notifications from work once you arrive at home. Not happy with one title? no worries! they will give you extra unofficial tasks.

    Guru Merdeka
    The good thingsCikal mengutamakan keaktivan guru untuk terlibat dalam proses pembelajaran. Cikal juga selalu memfasilitasi guru dengan training dan pertemuan yang dapat meningkatkan kemampuan guru setiap waktu. Jika dibandingkan dengan guru dari sekolah lain, salary yang ditawarkan juga cukup untuk menyejahterakan guru. Lingkungan kerja juga positif dan dikelilingi dengan teman-teman yang sangat membantu dalam proses belajar (namanya juga sesama guru) ^_^
    The challengesPerubahan yang sangat cepat terjadi menuntut pribadi yang dinamis dan terus fokus pada pekerjaan setiap waktu sehingga membuat Life-Work balance terganggu. Belum lagi saya mendapatkan tugas untuk mengajar kelas Weekend sehingga harus masuk Sabtu Minggu dan libur di Weekdays. Karena situasi kerja yang sangat aktif dan dinamis, seringkali jadwal libur juga berubah karena banyak kegiatan yang dilaksanakan.

    The good thingsThe working environment is good. They provide many learning activities; weekly sharing sessions, Professional Learning Community (a small group of learners with similar development needs), monthly professional development allowance, etc.
    The challengesIf your aspiration is to only get a job and don't care about the community/society, this school is not for you. You have to expect some additional time to join any voluntary activities as this school also have some social initiatives.

    happy life, happy work
    The good thingslingkungan kerja dan partner kerja yang mengayomi dan kekeluargaan. dari guru, murid , karyawan, dan orang tua lainya semua ramah serta menghargai satu sama lain. segala fasilitas diberikan kepada para karyawan. semua karyawan dibebaskan memilih aktivitas diluar kewajiban untuk menghilangkan penat dari pekerjaan. banyak mendapat ilmu yang bermanfaat.
    The challengesada beberapa pekerjaan yang diluar tanggung jawab guru untuk dilakukan. sebagai guru bantu, agak sedikit sulit karena harus berpindah level tiap hari (tidak setiap hari). hal ini membuat kadang sulit untuk beradaptasi, terutama dengan murid dan materi pembelajaran. akan lebih baik apabila, setiap level memiliki 1 asisten guru. jadi bisa memudahkan bagi guru dan asisten guru.

    The good thingsWorking with children is full happiness, we share how important about education for life and get some knowledge about study or life. Education is so much important for success in life. Education is important for the personal, social and economic development of the nation. Education is important to live with happiness and prosperity. Education empowers minds that will be able to conceive good thoughts and ideas. Education enables students to do the analysis while making life decisions. Life gives various survival challenges for humans. But education guide human to fight the with failure and get success in life. Education is only one thing that can remove corruption, unemployment, and environmental problems. Education is not about doing degree it is about how you can live with your own feet.
    The challengesWe're not saying we have all the solutions. We're just here to warn you. 1. What's your name again? Learning more about your students Yep, we're putting this before discipline. Maybe you get a new batch of kids and you can barely get their names straight, let alone figure out how to adapt to everyone's learning style. Maybe you have the same kids as last year and they've suddenly gotten a new habit or attitude that makes your interactions different. Maybe you have some super shy students who have trouble fitting in, come from a tough background, or are just very, very sensitive. Whatever the issue, making sure you know each of your students and can find ways to reach out to them as individuals, and as a class, is step one of being the head of the class. 2. Discipline: Bringing back the dunce cap You knew it was coming. That's why we have a whole separate article on classroom management. Discipline can be the whole class on a sugar high or one problem student. If you're lucky, you won't have to turn into Viola Swamp to cope with it either way. Student with dunce cap They're making a comeback. Figuring out how to cope with arguments by listening to both sides, dealing with disruptive students, and calming down a whole class (or, on the flip side, waking them up) is the endless task of keeping your class in control, and possibly the biggest challenge most teachers deal with on a day-to-day basis. 3. Time management: Count your blessings (and your seconds) We don't just mean in class. We're talking about making sure you have time to plan, grade, and maybe even have something called a life, too (we're not even going to mention sleep). Especially when you're just starting to teach, you may need to set aside extra time to figure out how to manage your time. 4. Why are my textbooks sprouting moss? The bitter truth: budget cuts are affecting public schools more and more, sometimes meaning that schools can't afford to replace old textbooks, have safe and fun facilities for kids, or even pay their teachers. Sure, there are grant initiatives like Race To The Top, and governments could never totally get rid of education, but there's quite a chance the funding issue won't just be your own salary (though we're not about to deny that, either—see point six here). Beyond that, it'll be the money that school doesn't have to give its students a quality education. 5. Showing your students you're from the 21st century, too First you have to tell them to turn off
