Pros

great boss and lower/middle management, flexible work hours

Cons

New higher ups laid off the majority of the curriculum department, then further insulted them by calling it "operation Phoenix" (you know, rising from the ashes); upper management was all replaced with yes-men to toe these new people's party line; the company claims to be customer-focused but ousts the people who develop the content for students

The job was easy and flexible.

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.
