Pros

They have great benefits, and those that have not been laid-off, who are not in upper management, actually still care about education.

Cons

There is no job stability here. There is layoff after layoff, reorg after reorg. The organization is change-over saturated. Morale is horrible. Upper management cares about making profits, not about what is best for education. Promotions only happen if you get in politically with the right person. I've worked for several companies, and this was by far the worst. They do not respect you for speaking up or doing the right thing, you question your morals, and then they layoff people with experience. This is the worst place I have ever worked.

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
