While the company successfully attracts talented and mission-driven individuals, the constant turnover and restructuring, particularly in Sales, creates an unstable and stressful work environment. The leadership team appears to lack a clear direction, resulting in frequent strategic pivots and organizational changes that affect employee morale and job security.
I wouldn't recommend this company to any Sales professional due to instability, unachievable performance metrics, lack of leadership direction, lack of investment into proper Sales enablement/marketing resources, and low potential for commission due to many schools that actually need Elevate's services not having the funding to purchase and/or renew such an expensive product.
Beyond the constant reorgs and layoffs, it clear that Elevate's leadership made poor business decisions based on the office space alone. A company of this size, caliber, and industry should not be in as ritzy of an office space as the historic Macy's building downtown. With the cost of that office space alone (that mind you, is mostly empty because it is so loosely enforced to come in), they probably could've saved a handful of jobs in the layoffs. It was honestly demoralizing to be in that empty office space knowing that that money could be invested in saving someone's job, investing in enhancing the product, or investing in Sales enablement/marketing that would actually be a return on investment as opposed to a false sense of 'culture' by having that underutilized office space.
