Pros
As a PT employee, the pay and flexibility were great. Teachers appreciated the PD sessions for the most part because the products were good for students and helped teachers in the classrooms. My colleagues were nice and collaborative as well.
Cons
Over just 2 years, I had 3 different managers, the last one being someone who had not held my position but would be observing and evaluating me, which I found absurd. Additionally, management had an awful communication and leadership style- they would make flash decisions without thinking things through or asking the experts in the field. A few months ago, they heard negative things about an experience at one school and decided to write up a 'performance memo' for me before even investigating or asking me about it. I asked for the investigation with a higher up and afterwards, she apologized and deleted the memo. I was promised better communication, but then just a couple of months later, they did it again, jumping to decisions before giving time to learn all the facts. The job isn't worth that stress so I resigned, but that must have irriated my 'manager' because they locked me out of the CA system before I could submit my final timesheet or expense report. HR had to dig into records to get that information. This was final proof that decisions weren't made with planning or professionalism.
