Cons

None other than higher pay would be great

Cons

schools are sometimes understaffed- staffing based on enrollment numbers

Cons

Significantly lower pay than most management positions in other fields or brick and mortar education, cliquesare very prevalent, promotions given to “friends” over being earned, often the “for profit” side trumps what is best for students, very poor work-life balance...they will bleed you dry if you don’t know how to say, “No”.

Cons

Online schools depend on a triangular support system: the certified teacher providing curriculum instruction, the parent providing the physical support as the student's learning coach, and the student taking ownership of his/her educational responsibility. Often, it's the teacher working the hardest, which throws off this educational system. Many parents enroll into an online school thinking all that needs to happen is putting the student in front of the computer and they'll learn from there without the parent's support. Online schools are still a home school program, however, the advantage is that a certified teacher is providing instruction.

Cons

Don’t care about employees
Consistent communication is nonexistent
Lays off annually to make shareholders happy
Always making changes and not communicating the changes.
Don’t want to put their money in research and development
No culture
No motivation
No follow through
Poor management

Cons

Poor leadership, very unprofessional administration, unreasonable work/life balance, micromanaging, dishonest administration

Cons

Movement within the company was based on established clicks.

Cons

Change of management almost every 6 month. I had maybe 5 managers in 2-3 years that I worked there. Zero growth opportunity.

Cons

Heavy loss of institutional depth of knowledge during a couple-year period of bad corporate and management choices, resulting in significant layoffs, key roles being done away with, and continuation of a longstanding no-raises policy, how to get quality work done in current circumstances remains elusive. The daily struggle is against confusion amid failing and unreliable but essential tools. Compensation is, and has been for quite some time, below what it should be.

Cons

The culture is non-existent, the product is shaky, management does not care about people, the company itself is not doing well. I would warn anyone thinking of taking a job with K12 in its current state, it would be like buying a ticket on the Titanic.
