Pros

The real "workers" really have a passion for what they do, and have the students and teachers best interest in mind.

Cons

Management is horrible. It is all about who knows who. So many "good" employees leave simply because of the games management plays. This could be a GREAT company to work for if someone would read the reviews here and make changes. The problem is that all of upper management is in the same "click" and are fine sitting back and watching the good employees leave. HR is a joke as they allow this to happen, even with so many employees raising concerns. This is probably the most hostile work environment I have ever worked in. Read the reviews, you can tell how this company is really ran. So many negative comments about management. One would think that at some point upper management would get a clue.

Pros

Great Benefits, hard to beat! Great curriculum writing team and great summer instructor training program

Cons

The company employs a number of friends and relatives in management positions. There are more Chiefs than Indians, the title of SR/VP and VP are meaningless, Country Club hires are mostly there to get their PhD's and have no idea of their responsibilities, the company appears to have a high turnover rate of long term employees that have become too expense, unless you are a Country Club nepotistic hire, they expect a lot from staff... managers not so much. Oh and watch! In less than 24 hours they will have an internal person post something positive to offset this post.
