Pros

As a researcher, I love that my work directly contributes to students’ success. Whether it’s building personalized school lists or finding unique scholarships, the role is meaningful in their journey. The flexibility in my schedule is a huge plus, and the team is always approachable when I have questions. It’s amazing to see how the research we do complements the counselors’ work and adds value to students.

Cons

Sometimes the deadlines for research requests can feel tight, especially when multiple requests come in at once.

Pros

Paychecks arrived on time, and the software we sold was reliable.

Cons

• Sales reps repeatedly submitted incorrect information to prospects, with only brief corrections and no lasting improvement. • Repeated mistakes across the team were ignored instead of properly addressed. • Those in charge failed to track problems or create solutions, allowing the same errors to continue. • No meaningful coaching or correction followed mistakes.
