Pros

Very organized.Structured. Low expectations.

Cons

The interview consists of meeting assignments over the course of 6 days to demonstrate you can navigate the system and be available as desired. No room for academic freedom. Mostly canned responses to students. Must work every Saturday morning, non-negotiable, 22-24 hours per week. Pays $75 per student, assigned one class of students at a time, students have 12 weeks to complete program.If you get the students to "green light" quickly it pays okay. If the students are unmotivated, the average salary works out to be $7-16/hour. For a job requiring an MSN prepared educator, this is poor.

Pros

Decent benefits Hybrid WFH schedule Some really great direct managers

Cons

Chaotic and disorganized, with old outdated backend systems. Work performance and output not generally recognized: people who do very little work are often paid the same, or more than people who do double or triple the workload, and are allowed to continue with the company while other shoulder the load. Once you are on a team or part of a BU - good luck making a move to another team or BU. The place is a revolving door for a lot of positions, but once you learn a skillset they are unlikely to allow a move. The sales team runs this place, so be prepared to be bullied constantly by them, even when you are told to gatekeep.
