Below Market Value Compensation: The compensation is below market value, and the compensation plans are the same for everyone regardless of territory, which can feel inequitable. They know they're hiring teachers and the pay reflects it.
Limited Professional Growth: There aren't many professional growth opportunities, and when advancement does occur, it comes with only a nominal increase in pay, if one at all.
In-Office Requirement: Being required to work in the office three times a week is taxing both financially and time-wise, especially since much of the work can be done remotely. In-person collaboration happens only once a week, making the other two days feel unnecessary.
Disconnected VP: The Vice President is out of touch with day-to-day operations and when given challenges to address, there's rarely a solution given. Rather than being solutions oriented and ensuring internal processes are addressed and fixed in a timely manner, every question you have will not have an answer, but instead, the VP always needs to check with someone else. The reorg that took place 1 year ago was to "break down 3 silos", yet now there are 5 silos without clear structures and processes to support the mixed bag of account sizes. You tend to look to someone with this title and experience to step in and provide strategy, share best practices and support difficult customer conversations, however, this is not the case in any capacity. Furthermore, the VP does not adhere to the in-office policy, micromanages, and often comes across as condescending. Proceed with caution.
