Pros

There were some great employees. Not sure how many of them are left.

Cons

Dr. Lora Hodges has the worst interpersonal skills and leadership tactics that I have ever encountered. Count how many times you find the word 'bully' in these reviews. Clearly she reads them all and to be honest, from my experience with her, I think she takes some power from knowing people fear her. But deep down it must feel awful. I talk to more and more amazing and brilliant people who have left and we all know that the Board is stacked in her favor, enough so that they are clearly willing to sacrifice the reputation as well as blow all sorts of time and money on the continued restructuring of the departments. The good people that choose to stay must just be waiting on her exit because besides that they are just being bystanders to the abuse. Or they have their own connections to her. And they should also look a little deeper into their new hires and how some of then present themselves on social media. So much respect and integrity lost since the new leadership took hold. The Board could finally put all of this drama to rest if they let her go. So many incredibly strong employees would return. And Lora, your generic and meaningless replies to these comments are a waste of time.

Pros

I appreciate the quality of the published books we provide, which I feel sometimes don't receive enough recognition. These books are not only beneficial for educators but are also visually appealing.

Cons

Workdays can be busy here but with supportive and friendly people around, it could be really fun.

Pros

CRS is an interesting company. You will meet wonderful people who care about making a positive difference in the world.

Cons

However, there are many issues with company. There is a lack of clarity from leadership which will have you bouncing around in various directions ultimately hurting growth. There are zero promotions so be proud of the position you are hired for. Pay is lower due to being a non profit. Do not expect getting a raise. Overall, as you empower students, you (as a staff member) will not feel empowered.
