Pros

Always room for advancement, managment is easy to get along with, decent salary, great work environment, semi-flexible hours.

Cons

Some departments are clique-ish, often times expectations and guidelines related to your work were changed at a moment's notice, it seemed that you were either overly-busy or had nothing to do (never anything in between), and since this is a temporary position many do not care if they accomplish anything at all and just sit around chatting all day.

Pros

Very thorough training, ongoing training A very supportive team that earnestly helps each person grow Fantastic coworkers who are personable, fun, and friendly Informal social events organized by fellow coworkers outside of work Not a bad place if a person is just starting out and/or would like a more rigid/structured schedule

Cons

Very inflexible hours Unpaid overtime is expected outside of busy season Petty emails sent out by lower management meant to shame employees for very mundane things Policy changes are abrupt and sometimes contradict previous policies The company boasts a lot of opportunities for growth, but I didn't really experience that firsthand - it could still be true, but I really only found opportunities for growth outside of the company The work experience gained is not very applicable to anything else (it's esoteric), I didn't gain any new skills or relevant experience (this is all document management and call center work)

Pros

Fellow Teachers were amazing and were some of the most hard-working.

Cons

Management Horrific and completely dishonest. Cozied up to employees only to humiliate and undermine them. Lying is the standard in the GA office. STAY AWAY. Overworked and underpaid. Parents and students mislead and lied to as well. Disgusting work environment
