Pros

The only pro is that they allow remote work... but that's about it.

Cons

The worst company culture I've ever experienced. - Leadership and management are incompetent and lacks the basic professionalism. People getting yelled at, gaslighted, and taking blames for their direct reports are the norm. - Don't be fooled by their surface level DEI efforts. There's diversity, but minorities/women often times are being treated without basic respect. If you have any issues, forget about asking HR for help as they are mainly decorative. - Their toxic culture stems stems from the top, many people are aware of it but choose to play along or just suck it up. Most people I met there give out very strong NPC energy. So forget about making meaningful connections or having any career growth. - On-boarding and training is non-exist. They expect you to know everything and do everything but don't even bother to train you or communicate clear expectations to you. - Subpar benefits on all level: health insurance is slightly better than nothing, retirement only match the first half of your contribution. Believe all the bad reviews you're seeing here, as I suspect they post fake reviews here every now and then, as their reputations have drastically gone on a downhill in the past year or two.

Not What I Thought It Would Be!

Pros

Work-Life Balance due to remote work. Good working relationship with front-line teachers (My PLC), because we are all fighting the same battle and support each other.

Cons

CEO! He's a dog and pony leader. Low wages! Poor IT infrastructure. Do all you have to do to improve the passing average (to allow the CEO to show off). Lack of student accountability ("bump" grades). No advancement opportunities. Admin does not truly understand T-Tess evaluations in a virtual environment.
