      Disappointing

      Pros

      K12 produces good courses that benefit many students; there's a shared sense of pride in the final product. Also, many interesting, talented people work there, and it's nice to count them among your colleagues. And it's fun to use technology to help students learn in a different way.

      Cons

      K12 has little loyalty to employees, even less to contractors. The company uses contractors extensively. (Top management is very concerned with how head count looks to investors and analysts.) Contractors are seldom converted to permanent staff, and they are subject to periods of no work. There's a lot of turnover, both among contractors and permanent staff. There is little hope for advancement in most positions. The CEO micromanages; senior management's hands are tied. They are aware of the problems but cannot do much to help. The brutal schedules and the race to stay ahead of students in new courses are exhausting to workers. If this was balanced by professional development, it would be easier to take. If you're hoping to build your career, there are better places to do so.

      Pros

      Great colleagues, interesting work, great vacation/ sick time

      Cons

      -Mass exodus of employees lately -Horrible salaries -Everyone just blames Ron- no one under him takes any responsibility for decisions that are made -Always in emergency mode You know it's bad when HR is telling people to start job searching (yep, actually happening), and you're seeing more and more people on Monster, etc during the work day...
