Pros
Work from home and benefits are decent. Wonderful colleagues. Strong DEI initiative.
Kontras
Salaries for virtual instructors are stagnant at below poverty level range unless you live in states which have a living wage minimum threshold. Positions are not secure - the company routinely has massive rolling layoffs because their projected needs data is flawed. They lay off employees in mass Zoom meetings during which they access to company program and communication is immediately severed. Opportunities for advancement within the instructional services team are rare and almost impossible to be considered in the talent pool if you don't have a PhD and/or reflect what is being sought to as part of their strong DEI initiative. I firmly support a DEI initiative but not when it brushes too close to looking like equally qualified candidates are disqualified for consideration because they won't show positively reflect in the DEI hiring and promoting practices data. It's an open secret leadership on the instructional services side of the company quietly groom candidates they would like to promote by encouraging them to pursue a PhD or EdD through the tuition assistance program the company offers and then they either create a position or force a position to vacate to "create opportunity" (remember the rolling layoffs?)
