Pros

This is an international company working to provide student success solution to universities and colleges. I love having colleague in other countries and in other states as consultants.

Cons

None really, sometime the web conferencing solutions wouldn't work on my computer but my computer was special. I would always listen to the recording later, if I was having difficulties.
