Pros

Working with the students was great. My coworkers used to be great, but they discourage interaction among employees. Formerly a great place to work.

Cons

Post-reorganization, had 7 supervisors in 4 months and none of them knew what was going on. Focus is on sales, not quality of teaching: in teacher training, content mistakes are acceptable but insufficent attention to branding is not. Increased focus on online education comes at a cost. Instructors encouraged to teach tests they have never taken. Materials from corporate hugely error prone.
