Pros

The PTO plan is decent, but it expires at the end of each year.

Cons

The candidate and onboarding experience are not good, and once you join the team, things only get worse from there. Other members in my extended department who have been here for years make jokes about how mismanaged and ineffectual the company is. That does not inspire confidence as a new hire. My “training” consisted of my trainer asking me what I wanted to learn. Um…isn’t that your job? How do you not have a training manual when you have 8,000 some odd employees? The benefit offerings are terrible and not even a little bit competitive – they increased their 401k match this past year, but it’s still under 3%. The internal support from their "centers of excellence" is nonexistent - I've had help tickets open for over six weeks with no resolution. Their company culture is completely toxic and is causing me panic attacks on the regular; I'm trying to get out the door as fast as possible. Do not come work for this company.

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.
