Pros

Good benefits and PTO when I was working there from 202-2022

Cons

Corporate for-profit ed environment. Mass layoffs in 2022/2023 since sale of higher ed online learning services dept. Company values seem to have changed even just teh image presented on Linked In now, etc. is more coroporate than education or inclusion focused as it once was

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
