Pros
The people you work with are great, kind, and talented. The managers, engineers, curriculum developers, creators, etc. are all amazingly compassionate and talented people. If you don't look too deep, you feel like you are doing good work to help children. Work life balance is what you make of it. If you say you can't/won't do more, they typically back off. However, they will take advantage of those who don't feel comfortable saying no.
Kontras
If you do look deep enough, you realize you are doing less to help children than to maintain the status quo in an effort to squeeze out as much taxpayer and school money as possible. This company exists primarily to maintain the CEO/Owner's rich lifestyle (Google him). The most stereotypical way to boil down the CEO/Owner's mentality is how he parks in the handicap spots every day with his expensive vehicle. COVID-19 is not taken seriously. Since March they have been setting expectations for people to come back to the office as soon as possible. There is less focus on actual safety and more on *perceived* safety by doing the bare minimum the government requires (AZ is pretty lax/irresponsible). In fact, in the middle of the pandemic they allowed volunteers to come to the office. Within two weeks, there were multiple possible COVID cases, causing them to send everyone home. Now, in the middle of the largest pandemic boom, they are actively trying to get everyone (not just volunteers) to come back to the office (if only for one day per week). Remember, this is a digital/IT company and nearly everyone can do their job remotely, so it's mostly unnecessary.
