Pros

Great benefits and mission driven focus from top leadership.

Cons

Influx of mid to VP level leadership from other large companies has shifted everyday focus away from mission (to help students) and more about profits.

Pros

You work for a company where everyone actually cares about serving students and schools, and they care about their employees. They have been incredible during this Covid-19 crisis, and I have been incredibly thankful for the communication and support.

Cons

It really is a great place to work, but the interview and hiring process takes a long time and can be a little frustrating at times. Be patient, it is worth it!

Pros

Great people: kind, educated, open minded Great company: their values are simple yet great. Although it is a for profit organization, and of course we gotta make money to survive; everyone's focus is on helping educators and service schools. Great perks: amazing benefits like paid holidays, paid vacas, great health insurance, gym, snacks, $5 lunches, work from home flexibility

Cons

I'm not going to lie, there will be some very long and stressful days but it's never not worth it. At the end of the day you will know you helped teachers and students around the country have a better classroom experience. Everyone here is passionate, smart, and a hard worker. You will be pushed to be the best you. This is not really a con though.

So far so good, indeed! We’re so glad you’ve noticed the common focus among our teams, paired with our competitive compensation package and work-life balance offerings. How wonderful that this combination empowers you to be your best self at work! As you note, CA houses a fast-paced, customer-focused, and results-driven environment. Put simply, there is always work to be done considering CA’s mission: bettering the lives of students and educators nationwide. Part of this mission is CA’s commitment to becoming an anti-racist organization. We continue tirelessly to support anti-racist ideals by challenging our current practices from hiring, to marketing, to product development, and beyond. We understand that this effort is ongoing, and that the work is never done. Thank you for helping us meet milestones as we merge anti-racism into all that we strive for and accomplish at CA. - Shrina
