Pros

The people. What little is left of an amazing culture and company. Doing what is right for the student. Very little beyond this, sad to say.

Cons

Constant layoffs. No raises. Low salaries with little chance of bonusing. No time for PTO or vacation. Horrible management and culture across most teams. Zero life balance year round.

Pros

pay, coworkers, benefits, was a great place to work before upper management panicked and made changes the accelerated the decline

Cons

Awful top management,, brought people from outside industry who destroyed the k-12 company, then they tried reversing but was too late. They lost too much talent and dug themselves a huge hole.

Pros

Salaries were above average and mid-level managers aka district managers were solid, experienced, education sales managers who came from education and new the market. Vacation time was generous, health plan..decent.

Cons

UPPER LEVEL EXECS KILLED THIS FORMER #1 ! They made terrible hires for the re-org of 2013-2014., then unleashed their unqualified execs to fire and get rid of some of the most experienced and talented people in the business, who now compete with Pearson. The blame starts with John Fallon and his ratings show it. Used to be tons of fake reviews for him and now no one will do them anymore.
