K12 Reviews

Cons

Pay is less than a traditional school setting. However, the stress level was less and the safety concerns of a classroom were non-existent.

Cons

A LOT of paperwork. More than you’ll ever have in brick and motor

Cons

the company comes under public scrutiny, which is sometimes difficult to deal with

Cons

Isolation traveling to meetings and testing

Cons

Tremendous growth almost too much and was in danger of losing track of true mission.

Cons

Insane work load for pay

Cons

Not enough time in the day.

Cons

401k could be better but virtual location makes up for it

Cons

State testing is a pain. You need to plan an entire week (at least) out of office for that.
We have about 4-6 in person PD's which are all day and often half the day is just socializing. I understand we don't get to see each other during the day, but it often feels like a waste of time.
I took a pay cut from the local school district of 38K down to 33K.

Cons

No communication with upper-management. People have no confidentiality and even more rumors are spread through e-mail. You are blamed for students placed in classes when you weren't the one who placed them there. Wrong people are being hired.
