Pros

-Good pay -Cool office -Great mission and impact -So many great colleagues -Good work life balance

Cons

Where do I begin? I worked at elevate for multiple years and there was ZERO plan for employee development and growth. The route to promotion was never clear and non-existent. It was on based on what the business needs were. That is fair, but many employee were strung along which created an environment of resentment. The Elevate product worked well sometimes, other times is was very poorly executed with customers. Elevate is definitely one of the more expensive options in the EdTech market and most schools just didn't have the money to pay. Cross-departmental collaboration was non-existent as well which created many issues and barriers. Elevate management was always over-promising and under-delivering. It's actually comical how nobody believed anything coming out of management's mouths haha. Whether it was promotions, company plans, benefits (which were god awful), Elevate simply never delivered.

Work is so much better when you enjoy what you’re doing the people you are doing it with! Our Elevaters that have experience as former teachers bring incredible insight to the business. We want to stress how important their feedback and experiences are, especially when it comes to improving our product and teaching experience.

Pros

Great mission yo bring live instruction to schools struggling to fill positions.

Cons

The job description does not match the reality. The pre made lessons are not well crafted and require you to modify and supplement them to make them coherent. Very little pay. And the teleconference at form is bulky and slow to respond.
