Pros

The CEO Ryan is amazing. His passion for the industry is unbelievable and he makes you want to do the best you can. He is so approachable and you can share anything with him without feeling uncomfortable or intruding. Free breakfast every day. Some team members want to see you succeed. You do get what you put in, you can tailor your work to the feedback and some managers are willing to see you succeed if you put in your half of the effort too.

Cons

Some of the teams are very cliquey and won’t do anything to change that mindset. Certain team members are set up for success in such a way that they will never miss target. Additionally, some other team members are deliberately left to fend for themselves while the entire group will go out for coffee or to the kitchen to openly gossip (probably about you), and that is not on. Some members of senior management are just as cold and cliquey as the floor team members. If you start to falter with targets, watch them turn on you instantly. It’s all about numbers for them, especially in Admissions. Anyone looking to work this role - this is a sales role no matter how much the company tries to spin it otherwise. Emotions and personal circumstances don’t come into play when you’ve missed your target. The support will dwindle if you repeatedly miss target, so you better be on the ball every day. As much as management say that talk time metrics don’t matter, they do. You must hit 2 hours talk time per day, and if you don’t, senior managers will listen to your calls (often without your consent) to see why you’re not making it. Be careful!

Thank you for your comments. I do agree that that Ryan and his team really care about employees success and are very open to hear ideas or suggestions. I am very sorry that your experience within your team was not always positive. While we do have daily metric goals our ultimate goal is to help student obtain a degree. And we have done this successfully for 1000%E2%80%99s of students. But, it sounds like this balance was not a good fit and for that I am sorry. Wish you all the best in your future endeavors and appreciate the feedback. We take all comments very seriously. Steve Fireng

Pros

Amazing Company to work for - been here for 1.5 years and love what I do. My manager always keeps me up to date with whats happening within the company, and ALWAYS has my best interests at heart. The business and my team has grown so quickly and I've had the opportunity to train new starters, which I something I love doing and my manager encourages. I've never worked in a business that genuinely puts its people first, and actually cares about it's employees. The office is in a perfect location for me to get to, and is such an amazing space.

Cons

Nothing that comes to mind.

Pros

• Good benefits • Very casual dress code • Nice offices Plattform has a lot of good ideas. Their offices are fun with excellent equipment in their brake rooms and even an onsite convince store. Their staff is on average very young and they have a lot of energy that translates in multiple activities weekly ranging from food days to concerts put on by your fellow co-workers.

Cons

• Low pay • Lots of nepotism • Ineffectual management • Lack of experienced co-workers Plattform has too many ideas and not enough action. They operate in an almost constant cycle of meetings, committees, panels, suggestion boxes and surveys that result in very little action. If you're ideas don't match those already in place by management you're treated as a problem until you're ready to give up and fall back in line. Massive turn over results in having to retrain people on a constant basis. The lack of experience in most departments results in poor communication, finger pointing and laziness. Projects will have to be gone over again and again, work repeated, and information spoon feed to coworkers time and time again. The company will boast at great length how they are the leaders in their sector then leverage none that "expertise" with clients. Massive reworking of campaigns will result from minor suggestions given both from coworkers and clients. The young staff also results in a great deal of misunderstandings from co-works who treat the work place more like a continuation of college. Co-workers will often take push backs and suggestions on projects as personal attacks when a little experience in interoffice communication and professionalism would solve most of these issues.
