Be prepared to be bullied.

Business Outlook

Pros

Working from home cuts transportation and clothing costs per year. Health benefits are great.

Cons

The organization is only concerned with completions. They don't care how you get there, as long as you complete credits (which they get paid for, by the way). Feels like a diploma mill. Management rules by bullying and intimidation. Felt constant stress working here.

Business Outlook

Pros

The philosophy is great, but its actions don't support its philosophy. Getting to work with students in an online setting-really getting to know them

Cons

Credit, credit, credit-that's what it is all about Does not subscribe to its philosophy Instructional Leaders have their favorites Many ILs are arrogant and do not care about their teachers Student is not the focus anymore

FLVS is cult-like. The instructors that stay are willing to sacrifice their personal life for the company.

Business Outlook

Pros

Compensation Work flexibility: work at home, some control over work hours Instructors are very supportive of each other Wonderful students

Cons

Criticism of "the way" isn't received well and stigmatizes the person offering the criticism as a negative person Personal life is severely impacted to where it's unhealthy physically and emotionally and detrimental to family life Student focused systems are unreliable and designed primarily as a admissions, enrollment and supervision/management tools NOT teacher tools. Instructor performance measured on student completion metrics - does FLVS get paid by the state - NOT on student learning
