Pros

Working in schools is great. Kids and teachers are a lovely bunch, mostly. Good co-workers. Team lunches. Learning experience. Summers are laid back. Downtime, encouraged to study. Overall, a great entry level opportunity.

Cons

Pay is low. Lack of tier 3 support from home office. The owner/CEO has generally opted out of managing this company long ago. The current running president has little technical aptitude. Granted she seems good at HR and Finance and talking "shop" with teachers/admins. However this is at its core a tech company and i think having a proper CTO would do the world good.

Pros

Great starter IT job Opportunity to learn a lot of different things in IT You wear alot of "hats" which keeps the job interesting Working for schools is very rewarding Summers provide a nice change of pace vs the school year Good amount of vacation available The team and school district were wonderful

Cons

Pay is less than desirable compared to similar IT roles Upper leadership doesn't seem to know what they're doing (as echoed by many other reviews) Turn-over can be high due to pay and lack of upward growth opportunity.
