Pros

The company is still rapidly growing and they like to promote from within. So if you are passionate about the business side of K-12 education and willing to relocate, you can find yourself moving up the ranks very quickly.

Cons

The expectation of middle management and above is to basically be available 24-7. It's not unheard of to wake up in the morning and see that email conversations were happening after midnight and decisions were being made without your input. Personally, with a family at home that was a little much for me. Also, philosophically many have issues with the charter school movement and K12 profits greatly in areas that are struggling for funding. They can paint it any way they want, but when it comes down to it K12 Inc. receives millions in funding through public revenue sources, and then as a private entity they will focus first and foremost on making a profit rather than serving their students.

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

Work from home, flexible schedule, work with kids

Cons

Strict data driven approach to education that does not hold students accountable for performance. There is a big disconnect between individual state charters and corporate.
