- Happy School Psychologist Pros:>great, competitive pay >great benefits >amazing leadership and supports >full trust and transparency seems to be part of their work culture > amazing communication > frequent check ins > quick replies to emails, texts or calls Cons:> my only concerns with EdTheory are 1.the retirement for their contracted employees are offered after 2nd year of employment 2. mental health days are not offered, days off are solely earned, whereas districts tend to offer 10 days per school year. This makes working with a district more appealing. Advice to Management:The teamwork that EdTheory puts forth is working very well. My advice for EdTheory moving forward is to consider offering retirement earlier and possibly work in offering even a few days off a school year.School Psychologist in Fullerton, CA 11/22/2022

- Flexible schedule, no benefits, low pay Great job for a new grad and if you're interested in working in a school environment.

Perfect for new grads, great starting pay, and able to continue education while working with EdTheory. Cons:No benefits or insurance for part time employees, commute during breaks, sometimes lack communicationLVN 9/03/2022
- Flexible and very accommodating schedule, work/school balance I am a new grad and I've been with EdTheory for almost half a year now and it's been great. I've been able to manage balancing school, work, and life working with them. I don't receive benefits/insurance because I work part time which is one of my cons to working here, but I do get a higher rate per hour because I don't get benefits which is fair and a pro to working here. If you work full time you can receive benefits and insurance but with a lower rate per hour. The management is very kind, communicative, and helpful. My breaks are short and I need to commute to other sites during my break so it's not really considered a lunch break in my opinion. Overall, I enjoy working here and working with the kids. Pros flexible schedule, work/school balance Cons short breaks, no benefits for part timersLicensed Vocational Nurse 8/29/2022

Good compensation compared with other remote positions. Will continue to work with EdTheory and no one else. Pros helpful, compensation Cons noneSLP 6/27/2022
