Pros

Good benefits Company doing well despite many management problems

Cons

Very top heavy Top execs have never stepped foot in a classroom but they think they know everything about what teachers need Way too many initiatives and no communication means total chaos Average 125 emails/day (at all hours) Average 6 meetings a day Always did work after normal business hours because no time during day CEO wears jeans and tries to do the "i'm a cool boss" thing, but everyone knows it's a total act

Pros

- Great and consistent mission with kids and teachers at the forefront. - Company hires great people. The top thing that keeps employees here besides the mission is our teammates. - Manageable workload and flexibility.

Cons

- Effectively outsourcing jobs, leading to lower feeling of job security and valuing loyalty. - Once-exceptional culture has declined due to growth, globalization, and economic/political conditions. The environment feels more corporate. Internal company events have declined. Executives are less in touch and decisions take much longer. Lately, there has been increased frequency of executive turnover and reorganization. - More focus on growth than in the past, which has impacted employee experience and apparently necessitated layoffs. I feel the influence of investors has changed the way decisions are approached to be less focused on the company’s original values. - Capitulation to political pressures and culture war issues. - Compensation tends to be a little low.
