Pros

The only pro is salary. For me, salary was not worth returning to an environment I hated.

Cons

I made the wrong decision accepting a position with this company. Accepting a position I had reservations about was my mistake. I accepted because the salary was much higher than I have ever been paid. In fact, they offered higher than I asked for and I got caught up in that. The position was not what I had expected. Day in and day out I did nothing but extremely manual entries. I did not learn new and enriching things. The environment is hostile. Everyone is in a constant state of stress and everyone is very unhappy. You can only hear senior management refer to other employees as "idiots" or "incompetent" so many times before you just have to leave. These negative inferences do not promote growth or learning. There is so much (manual and wasted) work to do that you often work in the evenings when you get home and on the weekends. This is a regular occurrence. The issue is not working extra, but working extra toward something that could be so much less time consuming, but the company refuses to invest in efficient business intelligence. The turnover rate here is like nothing I have ever seen. New faces pop up weekly and just as quickly do they disappear. I should have seen a red flag when the HR coordinator asked me to start on an orientation day, something they conduct every two weeks. For a company to house two floors of an entire building and have to do orientations for new hires every two weeks (orientations contain 5-10 people) you should know there is an issue with attrition rate. Beware of accepting a position here.

Pros

Having spent the past year at Risepoint, one of the things I appreciate most is that the organization genuinely values people. There is a strong focus on collaboration, innovation, and creating an environment where employees can do meaningful work while maintaining balance in their lives. The mission is important, but so is the recognition that the people advancing that mission matter too. For professionals passionate about education, workforce development, healthcare, and creating opportunities for others, Risepoint offers a chance to contribute to work that has lasting impact.

Cons

Amazing and inclusive workplace for all

Thank you for sharing such a warm reflection on your first year. It's genuinely encouraging to hear that collaboration, inclusion, and a sense of purpose have defined your experience so far. Those are the result of the people here showing up for each other every day, and you're a part of that. We're especially glad that our mission has resonated with you. Doing work that matters, alongside people who care about it, is something we think about a lot when it comes to the kind of environment we want to build and sustain. Knowing that balance, growth, and meaningful contribution are coming through in your day-to-day experience is exactly what we hope to hear. Thank you for the thoughtful feedback and for the energy you bring to the team. We're grateful to have you at Risepoint and look forward to continuing to grow together.

Pros

Strategy at the surface looks great. The engine is interesting and effective, albeit the avenues of growth are quite limited—a great place to work on several interesting projects simultaneously.

Cons

Chaotic Decision-Making, No thoughts given by Exec Leadership to Change Management, Sequencing, and scaling things. Operations suffers from Poor Exec Leadership, a lack of thoughtful execution, and proper planning. Some parts of the organization are being run as a fiefdom. No processes and micro-management. No work-life balance.
