Pros
You get to work from home and I have a decent group of people I work with. Also I am off every holiday and there is a shut down from December 24th through January 1st.
Cons
Imagine Learning, which is actually owned by Weld North, a company heavily backed by several private equity firms, operates on a philosophy of acquiring companies and downsizing them to achieve short-term profitability. I have been employed at Imagine for over three years, and I have witnessed annual layoffs. Approximately 3% of the staff is laid off each year. Health insurance is not that good since all the plans have high deductibles. The lowest deductible plan is $750.00. Furthermore, salary increases are minimal. During my first year, I received a 3% raise, while the second year was without any increase. The third year brought a 2% raise. Additionally, there are limited opportunities for advancement within my position, except for those seeking managerial roles. Overall this company is run how PE firms typically run companies. Short term profits and no concern about the long term. It is run by investors that know nothing about education.
