Pros

The curriculum developer position had an adequate hourly pay rate. I worked from home. It was easy to reach out and ask co-workers for help via Skype. There is an attempt to get everyone to know their co-workers, working from home and in the main offices. This is a pro and a con. There are lots of meetings, sometimes up to 4 a day, even for contract employees.

Cons

My complaint with Edmentum is how my contract was ended. After being told during the interview process that contractors stay for years and often turn into full-time employees, my contract was ended abruptly. No clear reason was given for ending the contract. I had received positive reviews and not been told of any complaints about my work. As someone who has worked in curriculum development full-time and as a contract employee, I do realize that companies hire contract employees precisely because they can be let go at any time. However, the way Edmentum tries to create a work place community, and makes contractors attend all meetings, makes it seem as though the contract employees are really "part of the team". YOU ARE NOT. Lesson learned.

Edmentum Response

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I would like to address your concern. Contract roles are very different than permanent positions within our company. The reason we hire contract roles is to staff our team when there is more work than our regular, full-time staff has the bandwidth to handle for the near future. Our contract roles are great opportunities to produce educational content for the online learning solutions we produce. That being said, the nature of a contract is simply that it is not a permanent role within the company and to be honest, like any contract at any company, it is a risk. We certainly have hired contractors into permanent roles in the past but it is something that we communicate we cannot at all guarantee. We do thank you for your contributions to our team during your tenure.

Pros

- Edmentum's already in thousands of districts, and growing each year - The portfolio covers the whole student path. Exact Path for adaptive practice, Study Island for test prep, Courseware and Apex for instruction and credit recovery, MajorClarity for career and college planning. Not many competitors cover that much ground. - The mission actually matters. Credit recovery and intervention go right to the kids who've fallen behind and need a way back.

Cons

Legacy weight, not unique to Edmentum. Older platforms carry tech debt that takes real time and money to modernize.

Pros

Edmentum teachers have synchronous and asynchronous work. It is nice to have flexibility for the asynchronous work. The health insurance is pretty good. There is not too much micromanaging, and that is appreciated. I enjoy working from home, and many of the employees are disabled yet capable, and/or they have children at home.

Cons

Edmentum hiring committees and salespeople will promise anything to close the deal. Many potential employees were promised completely flexible schedules only to be told they couldn't even pick up their kids from school after they had turned down other opportunities. When interviewing, get any promises in writing. Each year, we get more and more work with very little raise, resulting in ultimately less compensation for our work as well as less money to pay bills due to inflation. We used to get compensated when subbing for other teachers, but no longer. They give us generous PTO, only to restrict us from using it. Teachers can only take off 2 days at a time. So much for that 3-day cruise or taking the week off when your children are on Spring break. Union busting phrases have been used by management, so that is their response to employees asking for better conditions. Be ready to teach 5 classes a day, each with different curriculum. Be aware that many of the schools we videoteach in are tough schools. If they cannot find certified teachers, they hire us.
