Imagine Learning reviews

Imagine Learning, which is actually owned by Weld North, a company heavily backed by several private equity firms, operates on a philosophy of acquiring companies and downsizing them to achieve short-term profitability. I have been employed at Imagine for over three years, and I have witnessed annual layoffs. Approximately 3% of the staff is laid off each year. Health insurance is not that good since all the plans have high deductibles. The lowest deductible plan is $750.00. Furthermore, salary increases are minimal. During my first year, I received a 3% raise, while the second year was without any increase. The third year brought a 2% raise. Additionally, there are limited opportunities for advancement within my position, except for those seeking managerial roles. Overall this company is run how PE firms typically run companies. Short term profits and no concern about the long term. It is run by investors that know nothing about education.

The pay isn't great. It averages out to being all right, depending on how many hours you teach. As a part-time employee, you can expect roughly $20 an hour. As a full-time employee, you can expect $41,200. Additionally, benefits are pretty bad, and the amount taken out of your paycheck is pretty high. Aside from that, it's pretty enjoyable, but it's definitely better as a supplementary job. In addition to the aforementioned, the lesson plans aren't great either. It's pretty common to find typos and even errors in the content itself in the lesson plans and on the slides. All content is created and edited by teams of employees who are given more work with no extra pay.
