Pros

Nice people to work with.

Cons

The company is in permanent flux. They reorganization and let people go because they are over budget. They don't care about their employees at all. They give bonuses but no raises. They over work people and then discard them.

K12-A GREAT Company to work for!

Tops testing coordinator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

K12 has a mission to transform learning for the thousands of students we serve. I spent 3 years working directly with students and their families teaching high school Geometry then accepted a promotion to Math Department Chair for two years. I now work as a Testing Coordinator for the state of Texas. I would say the number one reason to work with K12 is working directly with the families and building all the necessary relationships to make student education successful. The second reason to work for K12 is the opportunity for advancement and ability to develop in leadership or other skills.

Cons

All education has to deal with change and K12 is no different. As a virtual school we are carefully watched by ALL stakeholders. As a result we are constantly changing to meet their needs and to accommodate our growth as more and more families decide to join us for education needs.

Pros

If you are new and want to learn a thing or two, this might be the place.

Cons

If you are an experienced professional, there are hardly any chances of growth. Way too much politics and way too many meetings for every small little thing. Decision making is paralyzed. Salary and Benefits are not great. 401K contribution is minuscule. The long hours and stress ain't worth it. Plenty of opportunities outside, specially in IT.
