Pros

Good people working tails off to improve the company and student experience.

Cons

Major budget cuts have decimated QA, reporting and IT ops teams while leaving the development team fat (development run by disconnected longtime CIO crony). CIO states system operations, data reporting and quality are critical while these areas were hit hardest in recent layoffs. Expect to support 24x7 systems with staff barely able to keep up with business hours work. Poor environment for talented, committed, underpaid, and overworked IT pros. Join K12 development team if you want 6 hour workdays, minimal accountability and your nights and weekends off.

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.
