Never ending layoffs. Vindictive and petty lower level managers No raises year after year after year Pay is MUCH lower than other companies in universe. 60+ hour work weeks. Low-level managers are not very educated. Low-level managers lie like rugs to keep own job

Pros

Decent starting salary, good benefits, generous PTO

Cons

1% raises forever. Last promotion I got to Principal had no raise but a bump in bonus percentage. Now they are giving kids 8-12% raises and they have less than 5 yrs. Once you hit about 5 yrs you will get the 1% a yr and be pigeon holed into a specific job. Then good luck trying to change.
