Pros

The benefits are great and the work can be quite challenging at times. The company is still ever expanding at a good rate, adding about 6-8 schools per year. Facilities offer a good amount of perks such as coffee service and monthly breakfast and birthday events.

Cons

Some departments have terrible organizational structures that prohibit career growth. Leadership can be very "good ole' boys club", meaning if you don't work your tail off and kiss enough butt you are doomed to your current position for eternity. I know guys who have been here a decade and haven't gotten a break. Overtime is rarely given, so on occasion you will be forced to work extra hours to complete a project on base salary, especially if you travel to remote offices.

Pros

The best part of working at Connections it the level of engagement and enthusiasm of the employees. It is by far the most committed and driven group of people with whom I have ever worked. There is a true culture of accountability and responsibility. Success is met with recognition and reward. Failure is looked at as an opportunity to analyze oneself and improve.

Cons

As with many quickly growing organizations, it is difficult to maintain a high growth rate while retaining the efficiency of a small organization. At times our growing pains have caused challenges and required extraordinary efforts to navigate.
