Pros

eInstruction is an educational technology company. They are leaders in their field, and its exciting at times to be part of a dymanic leading company.

Cons

Turnover is very high. Senior management has completely changed in the last 2 years. The management are not cohesive, as they are geographically dispersed, and thus it seems the right hand doesn't often know what the left is doing. Management is done by spreadsheet, with saving a few bucks deemed more important than people. Most employees that had been around for more than 5 years were laid off, with hiring usually confined to entry level type folks. Career advancement is non-existent as is job-security.

Pros

Was founded by Dr. Darrell Ward with great ethics and a desire to serve everyone. Some of the most gifted professionals I have ever met in the mid and worker bee class. Smart, caring and have a genuine concerns for education, teachers and student. Willing to help anyone.

Cons

Purchased by an investor group in 2009 who's sole focus is the bottom line, and it shows. High turn over in management. Senior leaders are excessive in expenditures but adapt at shifting the cost burden to 1099 employee's. Bad communication processes, horrible implementation and a heavy hand at change. Management does not listen to their customer or field reps. They believe they are like Steve Jobs, their product is so good there is no need to be professional. Constant closures of all facilities, changing personnel, responsibilities, expectations.
