Pros

K12 has a history of success that relies on reputation. K12 is very attentive to students' needs. K12 does an extraordinary job with managed public schools, and virtual academies.

Cons

Company's history gets in its own way for growth ("we're the biggest, so we must be the best. We don't need to do anything new"). K12 is a reactionary company, vs. a proactive environment ("What can we do to make things better? What can we do to sustain what we have?") K12 is used to no-competition so it does nothing for employee retention/career growth. HR dept. is out of touch with other depts.

Pros

Great collaboration with highly professional colleagues who truly care about teaching and education. Work remotely.

Cons

Insufficient training for the many responsibilities of the position. Insufficient follow-up from the upper administration on said responsibilities. Workload increased to levels that made completion of said workload difficult (with putting in extra hours without added compensation) to basically impossible. Difficult to change roles (at least, in my position). Many additional hours away from the classroom, which greatly disrupted educational continuity.
