Pros

Flexible schedule Wonderful Colleagues--Some of the smartest people I've ever met worked in my department. Consistent and reliable pay schedule

Cons

Contract work--No matter what they say, they can fire you with zero notice. The pay is not commiserate with education or experience. Teachers are asked to do a substantial amount of busywork--post certain announcements weekly, provide engagement data, etc. This isn't prohibitive, but it can be a little annoying when the student load is high. The company seems to be downsizing despite an increase in profits, which may equal more work for fewer workers.

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.
