Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at K12 full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Work from home. Workload is lower than that of an in-person teacher, because there are less hours of instruction per week.
Cons
Platform is not intuitive, dated, and very difficult to use for students and teachers. Pay is very low. Only 3 paid vacation days per year. Corporate does not allow management to be professional references for employees. Student pass rates / graduation rates are the lowest in the state. All around, corporation cares more about money than education.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI have been working at K12 full-time for more than 5 years
Pros
Some flexibility (less as years have gone by).
Cons
Pay is the same or lower than the lowest-paying state in the US. And that is for working ALL YEAR, with only corporate holidays, 12 vacation days, and 10 sick days - none of which can be rolled over. Work time is usually more than 40 hours per week, just like brick & mortar teachers, but there is no summer break, spring/Thanksgiving/winter break. You are expected to attend meetings in the evenings, regardless of family obligations, or be subject to bad reviews. If you think working from home is a way to be with your kids, think again. The handbook now says that working from home is not a substitute for childcare and you are expected to maintain proper childcare during your work hours. So what used to be the only thing that made the low pay worth it is not allowed anymore. Over the 7 years I've worked as a virtual teacher, the micromanaging has increased to a suffocating level, and as other reviewers have said, many supervisors are into the "got ya" way of managing.

RecommendsNegative OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI have been working at K12 full-time for more than 5 years
Pros
Schedule is fairly flexible. Overall the bottom level employees (teachers) have a family like attitude. There is great teamwork amongst everyone.
Cons
Paltry pay in comparison to the competition. Barely a livable wage. There is a revolving door of teachers. No opportunity for advancement. They also bend to every whim of parents in order to retain them.
