Wrong leadership and direction

Pros

Brand reputation with well known products Some smart loyal long-timers who want to contribute to education

Cons

Dream job as an educator growing up and sad to see how it works now. Glassdoor rating ranking explains it all. Senior leadership - Wrong people on top who do not care for employee voice. Last three years motivation has gone down and no actions taken. Restructuring left good people leave and now many *inept* VP's and SVP's run show. Never seen any company with so many VP's and SVP's with NO work just roaming around with no accountability. Human Resource is big joke in company. Not there to help employees. Employee motivation is low and still no major changes Lot of loyal people who work hard but no promotion or credit for work. Some just gain praise being friends of VP's or SVP's. New roles get hired for friends from outside company. Low morale resulting in low productivity.

A place where nothing gets done

Pros

Competetive salary, easy life style and great benefits

Cons

the college board functions by having 1-3 people in a department working very hard managing the day-to-day operations and then having the rest of team work on "special" intitatives, projects and campaigns that really do not accomplish much. This is a place where you walk into the departments and instantly can tell real work is not being done. Its very common not to hear a phone ring or even hear typing for an hour on an entire floor - all you hear is mouse clicks.

Pros

Great benefits and due to Covid remote work

Cons

I'm not sure is that the culture in college board or is it related to location, people are so fake and stuck up. Everything goes by relation not skills. As much as they lobby in government and try to keep cash flow, the business won't be sustainable. Management is dishonest and whole system is corrupted.
