Pros

- Wonderful, hard working people at the development level - The people who work directly in sales, educational development, IT, etc. genuinely care about their roles and their impact on education. - Students and teacher input is highly valued at the development level

Cons

- Division mangers are generally unsure of the role/inner workings of the teams they oversee. - Cuts and restructuring are impromptu and are made with little foresight - Very unstable company to work for at the moment. Management cannot seem to decide if the future of the company is bleak or on the up-and-up. Cuts are frequent--about four or five rounds in the last six months, with more restructuring planned for early 2017. - Upper management is not upfront or honest with employees.

Pros

Decent pay. Not much else.

Cons

No lunch break, no breaks in general, can’t go to the bathroom for hours on end, the managers’ daughter gets special treatment because her mother is in charge. Constant criticism and unfair treatment.
