Pros

K12's mission and vision is inspiring and I was proud to be a part of this company many years ago. I do believe they had the intention to do what was best for students in the beginning but they lost their way.

Cons

I concur with many of the reviews that speak about K12 being a popularity contest. Schmooze with the right people and you will be on a very fast trajectory towards management and higher. K12 doesn't care about their teachers and this is going to be the demise of the company. They pay their VP's and directors 6 digits and the teachers barely make minimum wage! Everyone is trying to move up, everyone is bringing their ideas to management and because the management is untrained and weak, they are jumping on these ideas causing more work for the teachers!! It's a vicious cycle! They need to have more doers and less thinkers or the company is going to implode!

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.
