Pros

The company is doing something great for kids, parents, teachers, underserved schools, clinicians, etc. There is not a day that goes by that I do not feel incredibly proud to work for PL. The people are passionate, smart, empathetic and excited to do the right thing. The culture is pretty awesome and the team excites me to do my best work every day. Hands down one of the best companies I have ever worked for.

Cons

No company is perfect and PL definitely has its struggles, but it is not from a lack of trying and I recognize that. The perks and benefits are good, but really need to be evaluated and tweaked for improvement. We have a 401K, but there is no match and that is a critical piece of financial benefits to employees. PL could invest in more opt in or out types of benefits as well. No real overhead to the company and the bottom line, but over all benefits the employees to have choices, like a group legal plan, pet insurance, wellness perks, financial workshops, Summer Hours on Fridays, straightforward WFH policy, etc. Over all they are fine, but could be much more robust.

Pros

+ the colleagues I have worked with are delightful and driven to serve the students + my teammates are helpful and willing to pitch in + work life balance depends on the school season but overall manageable for being fully remote + company presentations are informative, highly scripted, and professional

Cons

- annual raises are stingy and below the inflation rate - the executive team and next level down leadership team are constantly turning over, which is exhausting - every c-suite title leader has changed in the last three years except for the CEO - the company strategy is unclear and my team's responsibilities have several times - it's clear that some teams are favorited way more than others (look at who they're hiring) - DEI has all but disappeared since the Chief People Officer left a few years ago
