Pros

Innovative products and diversified programs and services.

Cons

The company I originally went to work for was purchased by PLATO which later evolved into Edmentum. During the acquisition process senior management was less than honest and engaged in a great deal of finger pointing. In addition to this salaries were slashed in half and teams were assigned new managers whom had less then realistic expectations. Outside of the cross-country rumor mill I can tell you that eventually everything you heard came to light. It would seem everyone (including those who made Presidents Club) were put on an Improvement Plan in an attempt to create a "natural" attrition rate. If you want to work in an environment where you are always on the edge, not valued by management, and feel like you are the next one out the door at any moment - then Edmentum is the place for you. it breaks my heart to write this as i have heard that PLATO was once a great place to work.

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.
