Pros

I just finished my 7th year with Stride and honestly feel it's one of the best work environments I've ever experienced. The ability to focus on what matters - students, learning, and growth - is refreshing. I'm part of a truly amazing administrative team, and I feel supported and valued. I love the periodic wellness challenges and the multiple opportunities to learn and grow professionally. I am proud to work at Stride!

Cons

There are definite trade-offs, but I appreciate that my time isn't consumed by discipline and that I don't have to worry about safety. My evenings aren't filled up with supervising co-curricular activities. To me, it's more the trade-offs are more than worth it. Some people have trouble viewing things from both an educational perspective but also a business perspective.

Pros

Work/Life balance has never been better for me. I work with a great team and love my job.

Cons

I wish the policy for working outside the country had not changed, but this does not impact me personally.

Pros

Flexibility and working from home. Safety at work. Great supportive environment for last few years.

Cons

Cost prohibitive testing travel expenses that are not immediately reimbursed. Required to leave home for 2 weeks. Sometimes policies are not enforced to keep funding for students that are not a good fit for online learning.
