Pros
Fellow colleagues within the department Understanding immediate supervisor Encourage interaction with other departments Encourage professional growth related to online technology or pursuit of Master's degrees through American Public University ONLY
Cons
Extremely "clique"-ish Management chooses and clearly defines "favorites" Other perspectives/ideologies are not welcome Professional growth not immediately related to educational technology is not encouraged/met with disapproval Lofty promises to clients/parents with complete disregard to employee's work hours/abilities to complete work Completely different standards for each department (work hours, salaries, etc.) Some project managers assign ridiculous deadlines without respect to current workload, or change project dates without telling you
