Pros

Pays pretty well Coworkers are awesome Pretty rewarding if you enjoy helping people Bonuses were good when paid correctly or on time.

Cons

The management is terrible. They say one thing and do another No one what's to help you if you have questions Hours are terrible Slave drivers when it comes to schedules Can't even go to the bathroom if you need to unless it's your break time. Can't take your vacation time with out getting into trouble Always feel like you're going to be fired even when you're on the top of the goals

Pros

The company continues to strive to build client base. Naturally there are competitors who will shake up the options and opportunity. Still, they attempt to be ahead of the game and analyze need to maintain relationships with clients. Attempts at including teachers and other educators in the process had been stellar, but dwindled to mediocre. Working from home is a bonus, I suppose.

Cons

It's hard to write pros when the cons are so glaring. Company used to have a student/teacher relationship focus. Suddenly it evolved into a poor representation of education. The focus is so statistics focused that the reasons for some of the statistics are meaningless. The teacher evaluations are so off kilter from a true reflection of their efforts that unless someone enjoys browsing to the max, they will not receive anything but a mediocre eval. When mentioned, the response was more: no one gets the stellar review. Company used to give bonuses, now they are not good enough for them. Company used to send teachers and others thank you's, which went a long way, now they do not. Their expectations of all remote employees is "flexibility." Do not be fooled by the jovial middle to lower management. They are all tools. They work from home, and are expected to work whenever and however they are told, but also reminded they do not need to work weekends. I don't know one manager who doesn't work weekends, nights, etc. It's high stress and low pay. Very low pay. The lure of working remotely is a rouse. It becomes a very mismanaged set of expectations. Many quality people have left the organization because of the continuous and shifting expectations, all away from students and ideas for quality education. Some clients dictate absurd expectations for the company, and they comply. Some are given "special projects" and it's a method of being a tool. There is no reward at the end of the project, not for the one who stresses out to compile the information.
