Pros

Sharp people at lower levels trying to do the right thing. Some remote work allowed for weather, childcare etc.

Cons

No vision by leadership. People in senior roles that wouldn't even be in mid-management roles at better companies Below average pay. Work life balance does not exist.

K12 has lost their way

Pros

Some coworkers share the "work hard" mentality and there are many wonderfully talented people still there.

Cons

Execs and senior management have no concern for morale or a work/life balance. They will tell you to your face someone else is waiting for your position so put your head down and work, if you don't like it then leave. There is no down time and most weeks you work 70+ hours. No opportunity to work from home; if your butt is not in your seat the assumption is you're not working. Unrealistic expectations for how long it takes to perform tasks, run reports, obtain information due to convoluted and band-aided system upon system. Benefits are mediocre and team-building is non-existent. No focus or direction from upper management; just keep doing your job and don't ask questions.

Pros

You get to work from home.

Cons

You will constantly be blamed for EVERYTHING. Your job will change weekly, if not daily. They will give you WAY more than the max of 250 students period. I was teaching over 370 classroom students as well as had a homeroom of over 70 kids, and I had LOW numbers compared to most other teachers. There is no pay raise. The management know NOTHING about education, but will try to tell you to change everything you are doing. The school does SEVERAL illegal things from embezzling money from the state to violating state testing protocol. I recommend to stay away.
