Pros

I like the people I worked with.

Cons

The first thing is that the positive reviews that keep coming up on this company are clearly written by managers or the marketing team. I don't know anyone at the company who truly feel that positive about working there! The changes that were recently made were not positive. They took a strong company in Study Island and basically destroyed it in many ways. They increased prices 50% and are no longer customer centric. My salary and others were dramatically decreased, and then the explanation is that we can't sell under the new rules, it's not their comp plan. When it was across the board it is clearly the comp plan. The new management are extreme micro managers. They watch everything you do and are hovering all the time. You get to clock in and out like you are being babysat and some people even have to clock in and out for bathroom breaks. There were also hard working people who were very supportive of the company and they were recently laid off without warning. They were told they would get jobs in other departments and most didn't. There is really no job security for anyone. As soon as your sales are not good you will be on an improvement plan and be let go. It doesn't matter what's going on in your territory. It will fall on you. The final thing is to look clearly at the positive reviews. They clearly are written by management and are not true at all. I'm sure after this one appears there will be some positive ones written to push mine to the bottom of the list.

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.
