Pros
I've worked for several other online learning companies over the years & VLN stands apart from the rest. The people here really care about learning and doing the right thing for kids. All the teachers, course developers and media production people here are constantly working to make the student experience better... not necessarily easier, but better for the kids. Of course, like any mid-to-large sized company VLN has hired and fired some jerks over the years, but overall, their core group is solid, professional and dedicated.
Cons
Some bad hires over the years, but the company has matured & learned how to weed out the bad apples.
