      Not a great place to work

      Pros

      - Decent work/life balance - Some interesting projects in pipeline There isn't much micromanagement at the company. You can work from home if you feel more comfortable doing that.

      Cons

      - Dishonesty - Lack of company values, ethics - No clear opportunities for advancement - Limited benefits - Many 'difficult' personalities in important positions As others have said, the focus of this company seems to be solely its bottom line. There seems to be little concern for employee happiness or well-being. There are also a lot of very difficult people in pivotal positions. These individuals are hard to work with and can be aggressive and unhelpful.

      How This Company Continues to Float IS MIND BLOWING

      Pros

      By long and far, the biggest pro here is the Work/Life balance. K12 is great at allowing you to be flexible to care of your personal matters when needed. The company has a good vision and plan to educate kids, so that I love about K12.

      Cons

      - Management at all levels are basically clueless at running a business/company. There is no clear direction as to where the company is moving to and opportunities for improvements are ignored and/or continuously missed. - There is ZERO room for advancement. The company does not have a structure in place for employees to advance up. Does not make for great employee morale. - Benefit costs continue to go up, but you get less.

      New management needed

      Pros

      Flexibility, ability to help students, good curriculum, caring teachers K12 was founded under guiding principles to help students learn and to provide parents and students options.

      Cons

      The management is making decisions that are destroying morale and the company. They have lost site of founding principles. They came in trying to build a house from the top down. It is so top heavy, it is about to collapse. They have laid enough so many people they couldn't even process enrollments, but they just paid themselves huge bonuses. They created a new division of the company with no clear job description except to duplicate work already being done. The great new ideas of upper management have failed. Go back to the ways of Packard. Teachers aren't paid a living wage but people who are bankrupting the company are making millions.
