Pros

This company is so much more than a workplace to me. Even as a remote employee, I feel deeply connected to the mission and values of CA. With the majority of employees being remote, there are so many internal initiatives created to make you feel a part of the inner team. I love it. The health insurance is the best I've ever seen - in fact doctors' offices will always look at me in disbelief when they see what my portion is. The executive leadership is phenomenal - it's clear they practice what they preach. Work-life balance and mental health is always encouraged. I've never had such supportive management in my life.

Cons

I can't think of a single con to working for CA. I was a former school admin and terrified to leave my stable position. Now I can't imagine not working here.

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.
