Pros

There are many great people there with experience and are willing to give you great advice in career advancement. C- level Management are amazing and they are very personable always there if you would like to reach out.

Cons

HR department is very cliqueish. Management is only looking out for themselves and will push you out at the first moment of you outshining them. They will delegate work to you, but take the credit and the bonus that comes with it.

Pros

I hear that some students benefitted from K12's programs and products. I had some good coworkers who worked hard and willingly under stressful conditions.

Cons

Disjointed, dysfunctional corporate family. Heavy pointless meeting culture. Bigwigs who started the company jumped ship. We never received any feedback from the actual students. Middle management afraid to make decisions, spend most of their time covering their own necks. The company I worked for was bought by K12. Instead of incorporating us into the larger company, we were left to figure things out on our own without much help. We felt like orphans. When my boss quit, nobody was hired or promoted to replace her.

Depending upon location, this can be a great opportunity to work from home and make a difference.

Some regions have the worst management systems in place. The job is very demanding and can be 12 to 14 hours day as the norm.
