Pros

- Large majority of staff are GREAT people who believe in what they are doing - Benefits are strong - Great customers! The first 9 years of employment were some of the best years of my career! Doing work that mattered, next to some of the greatest people! People were rewarded for hard work, they had opportunities to grow, they felt heard and felt like part of the big picture! There were few days in which you didn't want to go into the office.

Cons

One leader of one department can single handedly destroy an entire organization's culture. A leader with zero care or concern for work-life balance. A leader who takes all credit or passes all blame. A leader who bullies and threatens employees' jobs. A constant hounding of "we will put you on a plan!" A leader who doesn't hear the people. A leader who doesn't care about the people. A leader who ridicules and puts down her people. A leader who is a leader by title ONLY and demonstrates absolutely nothing of a good people leader. Sadly, HR has been confronted time and time and time again by employees from every level and from multiple departments. The executive team chooses to ignore it. I always thought highly of the CEO but have lost respect in the fact that she knows this is happening in her organization and does nothing to better the situation. Honestly, I wouldn't give Edmentum another 5 minutes of my time to write this, but there are so many talented and beautiful people there who are not being treated with respect. Their hearts are big and they have a passion to help kids, but behind the scenes, they are treated so poorly and they are worked more than anyone deserves! You may think I am a disgruntled employee, but I am nothing of the sort. I was smart and I got out of there! After 10+ wonderful years, I chose to end my Edmentum career and start with a new company that is respectful, appreciative and listens to its employees. It's amazing! If you are considering joining the services team, I urge you to network and find others in that department to ask about their experience. I assure you that I am not alone. Good Luck!

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.
