Pros

There are literally no pros to this company. Nothing good.

Cons

Terrible employees that don’t answer your question then you get gaslit and it’s your responsibility to look up things when it’s not. Theae people at this sham of a company are literally being paid to do it and they refuse to do it. If your school district hires them; run the other direction. They’re unprofessional, they don’t answer emails, and they just send you to go contact somebody else if you have a problem. I would never wish my worst enemy be employed by them; they’re that bad.
