Pros

The CEO, John Fallon, has been leading for over 3 years. His goal is to reinvent the company to meet the modern education needs. He is the best top leader of any company I have worked for. If you work in one of the major offices work seems to be quite good.

Cons

Some of the upper-mid management is struggling to be the same kind of leaders as the CEO, and it appears that there are still personal agendas and old mind-sets that plague some of the organizations and slow things down. The software development for mobile (iOS and Android) development in Salt Lake City was closed down about 2 years ago. It seems that smaller satellite offices are not given the same value as the large offices.

Pros

Decent pay. Not much else.

Cons

No lunch break, no breaks in general, can’t go to the bathroom for hours on end, the managers’ daughter gets special treatment because her mother is in charge. Constant criticism and unfair treatment.
