Pros

The people I met working here are truly a phenomenal bunch. They are the reason I chose to stay as long as I did and I will miss them all. It was great mission based work and I will miss the passion people felt for what they were doing there.

Cons

The company doesn’t know how to gauge growth and the new CEO comes off as steely. She is slowly shifting most new management hires to New York, leaving the tenured teams they manage in SF and SLC, in limbo. Since she has started, she laid off the SF office manager and support for the SF office has been drastically declined. During her first all hands meeting, she announced she was writing a book. Since that didn’t go too well, she decreased those weekly meetings to one monthly meeting. With that in mind, I can’t help but feel like her “work” here is all a self promotion tactic for future books.

PresenceLearning has evolved from an SF-headquartered startup into a distributed company with half of our employees working remotely and the balance working across 3 offices in NY, SF and Salt Lake City. While this shift away from a single headquarters has been challenging for some, including this departed employee, it has been energizing for most who have stayed with us as we’ve grown. We believe that the future of the workforce includes flexible schedules and multi-location structures that bring together a diverse pool of employees who represent a range of backgrounds and geographies.

Pros

Great people to work with. The therapists and POCs at schools are some of the best at what they do.

Cons

The new management has NO clue what they are doing!!! They have gone from being all about the customers and kids to all about the numbers and care little about the people under them. There used to be great communication between departments but now it seams the less you know the better it is.

Not a company for therapists

Pros

The pros of this company are the benefits of working from home and somewhat flexible scheduling. Their use of technology is innovative.

Cons

This is a company built on the backs of therapists (mainly SLPs). However, less than a fraction (probably less than 10%) of the company's employees are therapists themselves. They will use your clinical knowledge for their corporate gain and then offer you a position as an independent contractor for a fraction of what you're worth, no benefits and no potential for advancement. Therapists beware.
