Cons

** Constant change, you need to be very flexible ** As a public company their eye is more on the bottom line of quarterly reports than most education companies ** Extensive changes in systems and structure have left teams with frustration and confusion.

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
