Pros

Mmmph.... .. ... not much to say here except that I found a few really genuine people there... but they were not any of the leaders at all.

Cons

The CEO is delusional. People get fired weekly. The decisions that are made are ridiculous. The work ethic is to just keep working. There are absolutely no boundaries. If you're considering working here, then RUN. If you think that working in education is bad, then THIS IS WORSE. There are so many stories that I could tell, but the most important message is for you to just keep moving PAST JRR.

Pros

I've got nothing good to say! The pay is mediocre, the benefits aren't great, and there isn't much room to advance!

Cons

The biggest problem I have with the company is its terrible leadership! They're incompetent, greedy and lacking in empathy! They keep making terrible decisions in an effort to chase short-term gains, and they often come at employees' expense!

High Turnover, Poor Leadership, and Unsustainable Work Culture

Pros

Some of the team truly cares about making a meaningful impact.

Cons

Where do I even begin? Horrible management mixed with a complete lack of business acumen will be this company's downfall. The confidence of leadership making subpar decisions week after week is astonishing. Employee ideas and feedback rarely seem to carry weight. Suggestions were often dismissed without serious consideration, leaving the impression that leadership had little interest in input from the people actually doing the work. Consistent layoffs mean most don't last. It often felt like job security depended on being in management’s inner circles. Micromanagement culture means emails, messages, and computer activity are regularly monitored via company tracking software due to leaderships lack of trust. Seeing employees with tears in their eyes while being berated in company meetings and public settings was disheartening as well. Work-life balance was also a major issue, often driven by unrealistic deadlines. There were frequent after-hours expectations and it often felt difficult to disconnect, leading to burnout over time.
