Pros

Pay is decent and they hire wonderful, well-intentioned ICs and middle management. The work is meaningful for families.

Cons

ICs are generally set up for failure due to practices at the leadership level centralizing finances above all else, and from a place of fear rather than opportunity. Re-orgs and layoffs happen at least once a year, so there is no sense of stability. Continuous improvement is almost impossible because of the hoops that must be jumped through to get projects approved. Directors don't invest a lot of trust in IC's recommendations, leading to micromanagement and last minute changes that delay project timelines, for which ICs and middle management get blamed and put on the layoff block for. There is no opportunity for 360 feedback. There's also a lack of cross-departmental trust and coordination, so everything stays siloed and generally misaligned—like we're not all on the same team even though we should be.

Pros

Great collaboration with highly professional colleagues who truly care about teaching and education. Work remotely.

Cons

Insufficient training for the many responsibilities of the position. Insufficient follow-up from the upper administration on said responsibilities. Workload increased to levels that made completion of said workload difficult (with putting in extra hours without added compensation) to basically impossible. Difficult to change roles (at least, in my position). Many additional hours away from the classroom, which greatly disrupted educational continuity.
