Pros

I made some good friends working there and overall it was a learning experience like everything in life.

Cons

It's taken me a while to gather my thoughts on my time at the College Board. Looking back, I'm disheartened by the way my manager handled our team. Having gained managerial experience elsewhere, I've come to realize that prioritizing the team's well-being and growth is paramount. During my nearly 4-year tenure, despite delivering exceptional results for the organization, my efforts were barely acknowledged with a meager 2% raise and no recognition. Reflecting on that period, it's evident how my manager aimed to keep me down. The leadership was lacking, especially considering the significance of the work we were doing. Now, as a parent guiding my teen through the college application process, I'm seeing firsthand the exorbitant fees charged to families, juxtaposed with the unfair treatment of employees. It's disheartening because I once believed in David Coleman's progressive vision, hoping for a workplace where employees' happiness and well-being were prioritized.
