Pros

Taking the jump from a state job that I held for 20 years was scary but I'm so glad I did. CA attracted me with it's focus on their Core Values and I'm proud to say, two years later, I'm still attracted by it. This company stands by it's Core Values...people say it, live it, and remember it. Leadership doesn't just lead, they listen and act upon your feedback. It speaks volumes when the CEO responds to YOUR emails...like within a day or two...and I have no real "direct line of management" to him. People everywhere care about your well-being (send out virtual get togethers, complimentary fitness classes, check-in emails) and do everything to support you (provide training, equipment, feedback). I don't feel micro-managed and have the ability to still be creative with guidelines. The multiple awards the company has earned is truly legit. :) I'm thankful I found a work place that honors people and places their priorities in bettering our world through education.

Cons

There aren't a ton of negatives...serious. The remote work is challenging at times but if you are organized, diligent, and a great multi-tasker, it'll be easier. Working with every single time zone is probably the most challenging in terms of cons...but there's solutions to address this. The fast paced nature of the "business" does get hairy to navigate and work load can be daunting at times...but for me, the pros outweigh the cons by far.

Pros

I was hired by Curriculum Associates pre-Covid and have been training to present i-Ready content to schools and staff. I have felt extremely supported every step of the way. I appreciate my amazing manager and the entire CA team. My colleagues are just a text or email away to answer any question or to add support. I'd also like to acknowledge the amazing and helpful tech staff who have patiently answered my many calls. CA is generous in their pay structure, and allow us the time to thoroughly train so that we feel confident and prepared. They even send some fun perks to make us feel valued and appreciated. They seem to hire the most positive, kind, and bright individuals I have ever had the opportunity with whom to work. I have learned so many new tech skills such a how to conduct a smooth session via Zoom, and I love the interaction with all my attendees. I feel so honored to help teachers navigate this product and love seeing their excitement when they learn all that this product has to offer to differentiate instruction for their students. CA also prioritizes educating us all on systemic racism and I appreciate the regular meetings to better inform ourselves and to have a voice in the company. I never expected such a fulfilling and fantastic career after my many years in the classroom and I feel so honored and blessed to be a part of this amazing company.

Cons

My only con is that I didn't have the opportunity to use this product with all of my classrooms over the years. The lessons are highly motivating for students (just ask my third-grade grandson), and teachers have a wealth of data, tools, and resources right at their fingertips.

Pros

In my experience, CA is a great company to be a part of. They provide the support I need to be successful. There is a culture of respect, yet we say it like it is (as that is one of the company values). They treat their employees very well and even add in "small" gestures of appreciation throughout the year. I am very happy working at CA.

Cons

As with any job, there are high expectations and projects/deadlines that must be met. This is not necessarily a con, but certain times of years come with a heavy workload.
