Pros

Great people to work with. Doing exciting things for kids. Every day we see stories of the kids we help. It's inspiring. The company struggled for a while to create an environment that was employee friendly. They have turned that around however. The Herndon office has some great new features - a gym, TV lounges, food markets and food delivery. The place is buzzing again with excitement and energy.

Cons

Being mission-driven can mean long hours. It's a performance based culture (which is good), but that means people tend to work a lot. Of course, no one ever changed the world working 9-5. However, most managers provide flexible schedules or work arrangements so that helps people make it all work.

Pros

Great collaboration with highly professional colleagues who truly care about teaching and education. Work remotely.

Cons

Insufficient training for the many responsibilities of the position. Insufficient follow-up from the upper administration on said responsibilities. Workload increased to levels that made completion of said workload difficult (with putting in extra hours without added compensation) to basically impossible. Difficult to change roles (at least, in my position). Many additional hours away from the classroom, which greatly disrupted educational continuity.
