Pros

CA can be an exciting place to work, and I always felt very proud to work for the company.

Cons

CA is growing and changing pretty fast. I used to love how empowered I felt to support educators, but with any rapidly growing organization, CA is moving towards more formalized org processes, layers of management, unnecessary and redundant “fields” that have to be filled out in software systems, etc. And I’m sure like many companies, they talk a good DEIB game, but….

Pros

My time at Curriculum Associates has been the most valuable time in my career so far. I am surrounded by kind, thoughtful, caring people, who work INCREDIBLY hard to make our products the best they can be. CA is a family oriented company, where we are treated as people first, employee second. Our value to treat each other with grace is echoed in all interactions at CA. Our commitment to service and our customers is unmatched by the rest of the industry. While we do move at a lightning speed, the people who work at CA are talented enough to pull it off. The CEO leads with integrity and commitment to his people. Everyone's thoughts are heard and valued. We work hard because we want what's best for teachers and students.

Cons

If you demand clarity and established processes, CA may not be the place for you. We are constantly changing and evolving, so from week to week things can change a lot.

Pros

Great Company Culture, The CEO has a great style of management and talks to everyone before they get hired. Most everyone is approachable in some fashion and the employee benefits are stellar.

Cons

As the growth process kicks in siloing of departments is occurring. Some people get very territorial when another department talks to the customer, even when they are helping with logistics of the products.
