Virtue Signaling & Empty Leadership - Marketing Associate ExpandED Schools Employee Review

Everything about this place as an intern in early literacy was great!

I do not have any bad reviews

- Great PTO package (24 PTO, 8 sick, 2 float holidays) - Pretty good medical and dental benefits - Very flexible hybrid work policy: great job for coasting and not doing much work but still collecting a paycheck. Not great if you want to be mentally challenged and want opportunities for advancement and growth

- At least on my team, there was an overall culture of trying to do the least amount of work possible. This cultivated a tone of resentment towards anyone that required support or collaboration on a project because this would require collaborators to do 'more work'. Getting collaboration and support from team members and leadership was like pulling teeth, and would often be viewed as you 'not pulling your weight' even if the project could not be fully realized without team collaboration. People were not willing to help each other at all. - Jobs are boring and repetitive, you are expected to keep doing the same thing year after year with no room for growth or project change - No accountability for team leaders, if you disagree with your team leader or feel bullied by them there is nothing you can do about it and no one you can talk to without making your life worse - Basically no room for growth. The company is incentivized to put people in positions and keep them there so they can keep renewing their project grants. The goal is not employee growth or even growth of the project. The goal is to keep renewing grants so once you are hired into a position they want to keep you there doing the exact same thing year after year so that they can keep renewing the associated grants. If you were given the opportunity to grow they would have to back fill your position which they do not like doing. - HR is horrible. The department is literally only one or two people who have a track record for ignoring employees and not answering emails about important items until several follow ups have been sent with their manager CC'd.
