Pros

As an instructor, I really appreciate the lessons that are provided. The time/days allotted for me to work with each group of students are very reasonable, helping me to stay energized. Also, I like the team environment which reminds me so much of my work experience two decades ago. I have never felt like I was alone thanks to the support from staff on all levels. I can really sense the passion that each team member or staff has for what he or she does. Also, the students are really interested in learning with very few presenting conduct challenges. Witnessing students improve their academic skills as well as their expressed appreciation for the online learning experience makes my work so rewarding!

Cons

Because this is an educational program, most work is available during the academic year. Therefore, anyone who wants income during the summer will have to have a personal financial plan to sustain himself or herself during the slow summer season.

High Turnover and Unstable Environment

Pros

The primary redeeming quality of Elevate K-12 is the outstanding caliber of coworkers - truly warm, dedicated, and mission-oriented individuals (the majority of them, that is). It is also commendable that Elevate offers a lot of roles and opportunities to transitioning teachers and educators to break into the corporate space. However, even these excellent team members often fall victim to the continuous cycle of layoffs and burnout from constant reorganizations.

Cons

While the company successfully attracts talented and mission-driven individuals, the constant turnover and restructuring, particularly in Sales, creates an unstable and stressful work environment. The leadership team appears to lack a clear direction, resulting in frequent strategic pivots and organizational changes that affect employee morale and job security. I wouldn't recommend this company to any Sales professional due to instability, unachievable performance metrics, lack of leadership direction, lack of investment into proper Sales enablement/marketing resources, and low potential for commission due to many schools that actually need Elevate's services not having the funding to purchase and/or renew such an expensive product. Beyond the constant reorgs and layoffs, it clear that Elevate's leadership made poor business decisions based on the office space alone. A company of this size, caliber, and industry should not be in as ritzy of an office space as the historic Macy's building downtown. With the cost of that office space alone (that mind you, is mostly empty because it is so loosely enforced to come in), they probably could've saved a handful of jobs in the layoffs. It was honestly demoralizing to be in that empty office space knowing that that money could be invested in saving someone's job, investing in enhancing the product, or investing in Sales enablement/marketing that would actually be a return on investment as opposed to a false sense of 'culture' by having that underutilized office space.
