Pros

what others have said, unbelievable 403B, pays for higher ed. there are some terrific educators working here

Cons

There is a lot of hurrying with little forethought as to where the ship is going. As a result, people are overworked, projects are underbaked, current employees' self esteem is in the toilet and the good people leave. The CEO is egomaniacal, lacks practical insight into the issues facing the American education system (data is not experience), and just generally seems to lack common sense. If you're a motivated, bright educator and really want to make a difference, either don't work here, or present yourself as an alternative to the current emperor.
