Pros

I've been with the company for several years, and I love what it stands for. the president of the co. loves to read and believes in what reading can do to improve the lives of kids. I am a hard worker, and I have been rewarded for my work here. If you put in the work, you will be rewarded. But don't expect to come in and do nothing. This is a very lean company, and every employee contributes. Salary and benefits are competitive. Very mission-driven company.

Cons

The company is very lean, so be prepared to work, and if you want to advance, you have to learn a new skill. You don't just get promoted for showing up every day or based on seniority. Things change frequently, and there's always a lot to learn that's new.

Pros

Remote work and the clients are very nice to work with.

Cons

In my experience, the company's compensation practices lacked transparency and accountability. When employees asked questions about how their earnings, bonuses, or compensation were calculated, clear answers were often difficult to obtain. Decisions affecting employee pay were made without adequate explanation, and requests for clarification frequently went unresolved. What I found particularly concerning was the apparent disconnect between employee compensation outcomes and management compensation. Employees regularly experienced reduced bonuses or earnings, while management and executive leadership appeared largely unaffected by the same business decisions. This created the perception that the financial impact of those decisions was being borne primarily by employees rather than those making them. After repeatedly seeking explanations and receiving few meaningful answers, I lost confidence in the fairness and transparency of the compensation process.
