      Change in leadership a change for the worse

      Pros

      It's nice to be improving products for schools and there is a reasonable opportunity for work-life balance. Previous leadership provided some good products to sell. There is sometimes an opportunity to advance but this is sometimes because of turnover.

      Cons

      Very little in the way of benefits. With the management that came in in 2010 the company valued only the bottom line and layoffs became a way of life.

      Stepping stone, but mediocre pay

      Staff accountant

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you are a new grad, this is a descent place to get experience but as soon as you gain enough experience 3 years maximum, definitely go somewhere else where you will be paid much better.

      Cons

      Mediocre pay and vacation time
