Curriculum Associates reviews

There has been a huge shift in culture in just the last year. HUGE. This is not the CA it was 12-15 months ago. As has been mentioned in nearly every non-gleaming review, this is not a place for you if you aren't a "Yes!" man/woman. Senior Management doesn't really want to hear the issues, they want to be told they are right and have their ego stroked. Some major attitudes and egos within the Sr echelons. The cattiness has been mentioned and it's getting worse. Starting to be more and more cliques which are making doing business the right way more and more difficult. Friends are being brought in to staff management positions and all it's creating is an environment where doing business and helping teachers/students is getting harder and harder.

If you join as a professional development specialist or consultant you WILL BE overworked. This department is highly toxic so enter at your own risk. Should you decide to enter, use this role to gain experience for a year or two and then go somewhere else. If you stay, you are pigeon-holed in this department and will eventually burnout from the workload. This is a high-pressure, highly visible role so be prepared to cater to the whims and desires of your sales rep. Other large competitors also have better bonuses in this department. Just so you know many of these reviews are paid and likely from HR, so if you really want to know how it is connect with and direct message current and/or former employees on LinkedIn.
