Pros

We have a lot of people with significant insights that could help position PL for continued growth in serving students with disabilities. We are always trying to improve the experience for providers to ensure that they are having the most engaging and satisfying experience.

Cons

There are people running pilots that have no experience managing that many moving parts. This lack of experience and expertise is resulting in confusion, frustration and people reaching their limit. Our "leaders" are too busy with their PhD programs or writing books to care about the impact all of these constant changes are having on the people doing the work.

Thank you for your feedback. No matter how well planned, strategic, and intended, Pilots are known to come with some fear and concern. However, it is why we are intentional with the Pilots we launch and is also why we believe that launching pilots to test our hypothesis before making significant organizational changes is essential. We also pride ourselves in developing and expanding the skillsets of all employees. We foster a continuous quality improvement model of development and empowerment for our employees. We celebrate effort and sometimes even failure as we know that to gain experience, we must trust our employee's abilities, resourcefulness, and will. Additionally, here at PresenceLearning, we believe that our employees are more than just the work they do. They are individuals, and we believe this individuality drives diversity in thought and, ultimately, it is the innovation from our employees that allows PL to thrive. We know that our employees are multifaceted and have a passion for things outside of PL. We are intentional in creating a culture where employees feel good about bringing their authentic selves to work. This is why we celebrate our individuality and talk about it at work! Whether it is achieving life goals of obtaining a Ph.D., writing a book, playing in a band, training for a marathon, or getting a new puppy, we will always proudly celebrate our people's many milestones and achievements.

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
