Pros

Higher salaries compared to other education organizations. Great retirement match and benefits. Good amount of PTO. Good name to have on your resume. Most people are nice.

Cons

The expectation is to overwork. No transparency into how to get promoted. Job descriptions are unclear, as work just gets thrown at you anyway. You won't climb up the ladder unless you're one of the favorites. They say they care about diversity, but they don't do anything to recruit, promote, or retain people of color. Too much politics.
