Pros

Work from home (but not even reasonably any longer)

Cons

- Corporate, profit first mindset. - students/teachers come LAST - Leadership agendas are pushed for self-promoting admin to pad their resumes and climb their career ladder - Head of School believes teachers signed up for a low salary when choosing to be educators - Work is farmed out to teachers with minimal or no stipends when someone rightfully leaves after having enough - Sped Admin fall in step with who is in power rather than doing what is right for students - Data that determines decisions is skewed to fit the admin’s agenda. - Research based decisions are not made to support students - Admin are severely disconnected from the the teaching role, with many of them having never taught in a classroom. - Teacher turnover due to monstrous caseloads - Increased expectations for SY 21-22 to work from home yet have your family/children be required to be out of the house. Write ups will result following single offenses. - awful benefits - high micromanagement (do you like sending screenshots proving you did your job? Do you like having your active keystrokes tracked to monitor you like big brother? This is what next year is bringing) - No state retirement - if you’ve read this far, stop and run

It's OK.

Pros

Telecommuting flexibility. Dedicated, highly educated, and deeply experienced co-workers--the most intelligent and best workforce you can imagine being a part of.

Cons

Heavy loss of institutional depth of knowledge during a couple-year period of bad corporate and management choices, resulting in significant layoffs, key roles being done away with, and continuation of a longstanding no-raises policy, how to get quality work done in current circumstances remains elusive. The daily struggle is against confusion amid failing and unreliable but essential tools. Compensation is, and has been for quite some time, below what it should be.

Pros

None There is nothing good about this company to talk about.

Cons

If I could give a rating of zero, I would. The work environment is very bland, the majority age range of this company is 40 and up. They pretend to be nice, but all they do is talk behind every employers back. Considering how old they are, I assume they'd be more professional about coworker relationships, but it felt like high school, cliques everywhere. A lot of sabotaging happening in this company.
