Pros

Good benefits and PTO when I was working there from 202-2022

Cons

Corporate for-profit ed environment. Mass layoffs in 2022/2023 since sale of higher ed online learning services dept. Company values seem to have changed even just teh image presented on Linked In now, etc. is more coroporate than education or inclusion focused as it once was
