Business Outlook

Pros

Great people: kind, educated, open minded Great company: their values are simple yet great. Although it is a for profit organization, and of course we gotta make money to survive; everyone's focus is on helping educators and service schools. Great perks: amazing benefits like paid holidays, paid vacas, great health insurance, gym, snacks, $5 lunches, work from home flexibility

Cons

I'm not going to lie, there will be some very long and stressful days but it's never not worth it. At the end of the day you will know you helped teachers and students around the country have a better classroom experience. Everyone here is passionate, smart, and a hard worker. You will be pushed to be the best you. This is not really a con though.

Put simply, there is always work to be done considering CA’s mission: bettering the lives of students and educators nationwide. Part of this mission is CA’s commitment to becoming an anti-racist organization. We continue tirelessly to support anti-racist ideals by challenging our current practices from hiring, to marketing, to product development, and beyond. We understand that this effort is ongoing, and that the work is never done. Thank you for helping us meet milestones as we merge anti-racism into all that we strive for and accomplish at CA. - Shrina
