Pros

They have a decent time off policy.

Cons

Before you consider a job in Sales at Renaissance, ask what their turnover rate is in the sales department. Sales professionals have been leaving this company in huge numbers over the past 24 months. Other sales professionals in Edtech Companies are noticing and those that are recruiting, are snatching up Renaissance employees right and left. There are big, systemic problems within the sales organization at Renaissance Learning that have been evident for well over a decade. Beware. Some indications for this mass exodus: Unrealistic quotas, longstanding employees getting let go with no apparent reason, very low base salaries, sales teams getting shifted around every couple of years, no true sales leadership, a few veteran staff get promotions that are not posted and much micromanagement within the sales funnel by mid-management. NO opportunity for inside sales for promotion especially for those living in Wisconsin Rapids. This company is a giant within the industry due to acquisitions by private equity firms, not due to organic growth. They are all about bottom line profit and have lost their way.

Pros

The ONLY reason you would want to work here is because the product offerings are strong individually. The issue is they’ve acquired too many products at this point. No consistency or cohesion across the platforms.

Cons

Almost too many to state. All companies have issues but Renaissance is accelerating issues for the internal workforce. Everything is a facade and seems good until you look below the surface. The leadership team is lost and trying to meet unhealthy grow expectations for the sales team. CRO has created a phony, catty, drama filled culture. AVP’s are useless leaders. The RVPs have no autonomy to make decisions. Money < People. Work life balance is nonexistent. What happened to the old Renaissance?

Pros

Strong Mission and Dedicated People

Cons

Low pay. Current leadership has decided that acquiring other companies is more important than their workforce. Small annual increases that ensures that employees make less than all other Ed tech companies. The new management is also very arrogant and condescending. Not a nurturing environment at all.
