Curriculum Associates reviews

There is a lot of uncertainty in the company right now. We just lost 4% of employees due to a blunder by the company in one region, which negatively affected bonuses for the entire company. But like everytime there is an issue in our company, upper leadership (especially the CEO) overshares information but really makes no positive action. We seem to be growing as a company, but leadership is putting a focus on some unusual items (like a reading program that no one seems to want or need). In addition, many important members of the PD and PSM teams have moved to sales, which is peculiar. It appears that CA has determined that the only employees at the company who should be compensated at high levels are sales and upper leadership, so don't expect your leaders to last very long because they'll end up in sales at some point. When I joined CA things seemed to be moving at a good pace and a company culture was great, now this are uncertain and we're becoming just another corporate publishing company like HMH or Pearson, which is the opposite way we should be going.

Lots to list. 1. Company changes that affected employment. 2. Upper management is a mess. 3. Understaffed and expect to do “magic” 4. Everyone is lost and expect to go above and beyond with no direction. 5. Benefits aren’t great. Too many issues. 6. Some managers play favoritism 7. Lots of micromanaging 8. Discrimination towards gender and race. 9. Management don’t listens to your concerns 10. The marketing department sets you up to fail 11. The department also sets you up to compete with each other. 12. The whole company is disorganized. When I got hired they decided to go under some company changes and promised everyone we would not lose our jobs. Here I am a year later with a lost job, writing this review. Be warned.
