Pros

Opportunities to work from home

Cons

Extremely unorganized, inconsiderate and ethically questionable business practices. After completing my first week of work I was notified that HR had made a mistake in my offer and they wanted me to agree to a substantially different, lesser offer. I attempted to negotiate with them but they refused to honor my original offer. Throughout the process I felt completely disrespected. There was no concern for the fact that I had turned down opportunities with other companies to accept this position or that what they were trying to offer me was far too low for someone with an advanced degree and experience in the field. The ethical gray area of reneging on an employment agreement after an employee has already started working made me extremely uncomfortable about my future with them.

Pros

Work from home, some schedule flexibility for small groups, teaching staff was excellent. Academic Administrators and Master Teachers were wonderful to work with and offered beneficial feedback.

Cons

This corporation fired over half the staff based solely on test scores from the state standardized tests. No consideration was given to professional evaluations. Several teachers had classrooms with only students receiving special education services or students in interventions because they were 1 to 3 grade levels behind. Regardless of the gains their students may have made, teachers were fired because the students could not pass state exams.

Pros

good co-workers in herndon location

Cons

company is dishonest with employees, retroactively alters pay scale to prevent workers from obtaining bonus's they should have been owed, excessive micromanagement to the point that you are prevented from doing the actual job, intends to switch ops to new location with lower quality employees to save money on pay yet does not admit to this.
