Pros

-Size of Company.Even if tough times continue this company won't go completely out of business anytime soon. -Salaries paid seem fairly competitive -The benefit of working for a company that is "trying" to do good for students/U.S. education system

Cons

-Identity Crisis. This company doesn't know what it is. Even what they want to be (an efficacy / research company for education), is more pie in the sky than close to reality at this point. -Senior Management seems increasingly insular and separate from market reality and the reality its employees face every day. Their expectations are increasingly unreasonable. -Work/life balance. Expect an "always on," 24/7 work experience. -This company faces great disruption, and likely from larger, strong companies that don't carry near as much baggage in education industry

Pros

Decent pay. Not much else.

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.
