Pros

Things may have changed since I was there a few years ago, but at the time they managed to create a really remarkable culture that was supportive, empowering, and creative. It's one of those places where it seemed like everyone you met really cared about the work they did and the impact that it had on the lives of the children they could serve through the company technology. Being on the sales side of things, it was fun seeing just what kind of a difference the software could make for struggling students of many kinds. Teachers often marveled at how the software helped children, especially struggling readers and ESL.

Cons

While I never experienced this directly, when the business eventually transitioned from the founders stage to control by investors ... some employees felt a bit of that great early vision was lost that made the environment so amazing. Unhealthy competition between managers vying for positions of importance crept in a bit. Hope it wasn't true. Still think they have a great product, and many good people...just not as great of an environment as their early days. Of course, that's the hard part about large growth anyway.

Pros

Pay is competitive. Remote work. A few days a week of regional travel at the federal compensation rate. This has been an educational entry-level job to learn the basic stakeholders and sales cycles for K-12 curriculum. The people I work with are great and knowledge/experience is a strong resource at this company.

Cons

The higher leadership of the organization does not foster a positive, collaborative culture. Different teams/regions work in silos. Any collaboration and communication happens primarily by our own individual efforts. Also, systems change yearly. It's difficult for everyone to adapt, and as a result the sales team has little faith in following the process. Job security is iffy. There has been continuous talk of eliminating my position in my state for over a year now.
