Pros

One of the reviews mentioned that the company is misleading, I agree. The "pros" are not really, "pros." But, if I have to list them, here they are: 1. work from home (most of the time) 2. you get summers off (kind of) 4. medical insurance is decent, for myself.

Cons

Here is the truth/cons: 1. You work from home, but the job is still quite demanding. There are many administrative tasks to perform daily and weekly. Also, you will physically have to monitor state testing. 2. The technology systems/platforms are incredibly inefficient. Something as simple as putting in a help desk ticket can take all day or weeks. 3. You're not informed that you will only get the month of July off for "summer." 4. Majority of the students in my class never turn in anything, show up, or participate. I feel like I'm talking to myself most of the time. I believe it's a waste of time for me, which is one of the main reasons I've resigned. 5. The salary is VERY LOW. It is not even comparable to the school districts near me. I accepted the position because it was a work from home opportunity but, the stress, required mental energy, low salary, and company inefficiencies are not worth it. I do not recommend teaching for this company. I believe educators deserve much better.

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.
