Pros

Good mission, excellent co-workers, still opportunities to move around within the company.

Cons

Upper management still appears to be a revolving door making it challenging to manage daily work, since plans tend to change with each new chief in the tee-pee.

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.
