Pros

Camaraderie between coworkers - everyone is honest about their feelings within the office. Free coffee/tea and snacks in breakroom, occasional pizza parties. You'll learn a lot very quickly (because you have to). Good mission, interesting company projects.

Cons

Return to office culture (only certain departments are allowed to be remote), No work/life balance, especially for upper management. CEO doesn't care about employee mental or physical health - if you go on medical leave you'll be fired soon after. Some benefits were taken away - PTO was reduced and resets every fiscal year so planning vacation and using sick time is a nightmare. Rare raises for cost of living. Rare that you'll get a bump in pay/raise, even for an increase in duties. Can't negotiate salary. CEO makes decisions arbitrarily and picks favorites - she has a hot/cold demeanor and if you make a mistake or she decides she doesn't like you anymore, she'll pull you into an office to scream at you behind closed doors which is terrible for employee morale.

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.
