Pros

This company actually stands by it's values (and it's people). The perks aren't huge Google-esque frills, but they're the ones that count. They treat you with respect, acknowledge your ideas and strengths, and make it a supportive environment where the team pushes each other to succeed.

Cons

Some teams are quite young which isn't necessarily a con, just a different dynamic.

This is wonderful to hear - thank you for the thoughtful comments! At CA, we hire people, not positions. This dynamic helps us connect with people who are passionate and aligned with our goals to improve classrooms with our products and service. That passion is at the heart of who we are as an organization, and we greatly appreciate your contributions to our team! -Shrina

Pros

As the headline says, I have found CA to be a company that has clear and admirable values and stands behind them. I am still relatively new, and continue to be delighted at the responsiveness of nearly every employee I contact with a question. There is a lot of genuine positivity and professionalism here. I have worked for many corporations over the years so I have a good basis for comparison. I am pleased with the benefits. The compensation is a bit lower than I am accustomed to (coming from another industry) but seems fair, with good opportunities for growth in that vein.

Cons

I have not identified any notable downsides. Deadlines can be intense, but that is part of this role in any environment and this is not a constant--it ebbs and flows. I have observed my (and other) department(s) actively seeking to expand personnel, seeming conscious of the need to avoid faltering quality and/ or overworked staff. I have never felt that I could not ask for help, or that I would not get it.

Pros

- CA allows you to be flexible with your hours and work remotely. - The CEO and upper management read every comment on the employee surveys, and they actually attempt to fix the problems. - The CEO makes decisions based on what is best for teachers, students, and employees (and this has been a profitable strategy).

Cons

It is very difficult to get hired here. They only hire the smartest, most capable people (lots of Ivy League grads).

Thank you for your kind words about CA! Curriculum Associates certainly prides itself on the well-being of its employees, including offering flexible work-from-home opportunities. CA receives over 10,000 applicants a year, only 2% of which are ultimately hired. It is this rigorous process that ensures any new hires get a total view of our company and the core values that make CA such a special place to work! – Shrina
