Don't do it. If you do, take it day by day. You're not leaving the classroom for this job.

Pros

Interesting opportunity Travel Resume booster - possibly the best part of my experience "Support" available - there is a kick off event that is meant to support new Professional Learning Specialists and mentors assigned, but there was a huge learning curve and gap that you must be self-motivated to figure out. Although you pay for travel upfront, you will be reimbursed as long as you follow the guidelines.

Cons

This role and company is borderline predatory on the many teachers that look to leave the classroom. I did notice that many higher ups in the corporate offices started as classroom teachers and VPs start their motivational talks by saying that they started in the classroom too. Metrics for success are not clearly laid out or equitable. Company talks about being all for equity, but as a POC I delivered professional development, received racially charged comments, and in those communities I ratings and comments on the more negative side. Some mentors would say that poor scores didn't mean anything. They definitely do. I would say this is one of the most stressful parts of the job -- you can try your best but you can't always control the poor ratings/scores. Travel can also be a con if you're not up for the adventure-- air planes, driving at least 1 hour, staying in random hotels in rural America...

You think you’re getting hired for a career but you will get laid off

Pros

Pay and benefits are comparable with other companies

Cons

People are treated like they’re disposable. They train you and then a project ends (with no warning) and you’re suddenly laid off. Then they hire for the same position in another department. Can’t understand why they don’t transfer people to different departments.

Pros

The people who work here are amazing.

Cons

Leadership has lost sight of what is important. They are constantly restructuring and laying people off. There is no loyalty even for people who have been at the company for 10+ years.
