Pros

Day-to-day is a very reasonable workload. Training is solid and departments work in conjunction quite well & effectively. Culture is decent.

Cons

After our director left, admissions were left with little to no support. The president of the org is constantly biting off more than she can chew & thought she could gain a proper understanding of sales/admissions and give us the support we need, all while overseeing day to day of the entire org. Founder doesn’t seem like she really does a ton or understands what is really going on. Randomly terminated for no given reason along with other very long tenured employees. Found out through the grapevine it was for budget purposes, which there was 0 transparency or communication about. This very clearly should have been a layoff w/ severance.

Pros

To be certain, there are some fabulous things about this company such as a nice community of teachers and the fact that the company is accredited. However, the pros are overshadowed by confusing onboarding and lack of any career advancement.

Cons

Instructors are paid only for their time in the virtual classroom. Though this fact seems like a reasonable thing given the contract nature and hourly pay of the position. However, it is the ridiculous amount of paperwork and busy work that a teacher must do outside of their class time which makes this job's paltry salary (mostly $19-21 USD) dwindle to even less in terms of time/compensation. Finally, the management leaves much to be desired. It is not so much the management itself as it is the constant turnover and lack of communication so that a teacher has little clue about their performance or that instructors don't really feel connected despite efforts. It is a shame. They abuse their 'good' teachers and play favorites for assignments of students.
