Pros

My company was acquired by Presence Learning. I can not find any pros based on my experience. I question if any of the recent positive reviews are real as they appear to cover up negative feedback like one reviewer mentioned.

Cons

1. Execs are far removed from the mission and solely focused on elevating their names and the monetary gain using the guise of ‘caring’ about Special Education 2. Execs take advantage of their employees, everyone is overworked and stressed out working under chaotic conditions 3. Significant turnover is a huge red flag 4. Execs make decisions without regard for how it impacts their employees 5. Execs don’t take any ownership for any of the above

Thank you for your review and the opportunity to respond. As mentioned, PresenceLearning recently acquired GlobalTeletherapy. We are very excited and optimistic about the integration of the two organizations. With such a big change comes a level of uncertainty, a significant amount of iteration, and additional work to align both organizations. However, our Leadership Team recognizes we must be both strategic and thoughtful as we integrate. We encourage you to reach out to your respective stakeholder with questions, concerns or ideas, as we are open to all of the above. As an organization we are all here to support school teams, offer fulfilling work for therapists, and ultimately to serve more students. While we understand the anonymous nature of this forum, please know that we do welcome you to reach out to HR or your manager directly to have a conversation and discuss your specific concerns.

Pros

The tech support was helpful and I really liked the online data collection.

Cons

There were way too many “players”. Micromanaging. Too many people ie, “Leads, SCC’s etc” that got laid a lot more money and I felt that I was managing my caseload / the schools without their assistance. The pay was low and there’s were no benefits (ie health insurance, retirement, etc.).

Pros

Full time remote work environment

Cons

No growth plan in sight here, no ladder to climb, be prepared to be stuck in your role and definitely STUCK at your pay rate. The 2% increase after my first year was a joke especially after being stuck in a role which I was being completely overworked the first year. They’re also constantly in a state of “restructure” so everything is clear as mud. Many people on the clinical team are also beyond condescending, if you have to work with Laurie W good luck. Oh and when you tell them you’re leaving, be prepared to be MANIPULATED. Nothing but toxic manipulative behavior from this company when I was on my way out. They will make false promises about giving you an imaginary raise or a secret bonus of some kind and then never actually come through with it. I can’t believe I actually considered this crap. I have heard more than a few stories of higher ups quickly campaigning for employees to “please please stay” after they announce they’re jumping ship. It’s extremely uncomfortable and distasteful to say the very least. They’re losing people and fast, I do not recommend this place if you’re looking to advance your career in any way. You’ll get stuck where you are. Accept your new offer and move on. Plenty of other great Ed Tech companies out there, know your worth.
