Pros

What I like most about working at Renaissance is that all employees have the same great passion across the board. Knowing you are making a difference in teachers and students lives and ultimately making the world a better place and our future brighter is most fulfilling. The people who work here, work hard, do great work and get things done. Just as we listen to our customers and constantly improve our products and services, Renaissance takes care of their employees and LISTENS to them---you will be heard ----but have to speak up. Don’t keep your ideas to yourself—share them with a team member or manager if you don’t feel comfortable bring them up to upper management. Great opportunities for employees, a clear career pathway, an employee reward program and great new additions to the long list of benefits--- adds to even more reasons why I am so grateful to be part of such an awesome organization.

Cons

If you don’t like change, Renaissance may not be the best place for you. Change occurs all of the time. Our leadership team has made lots of changes over the years, for the good of the customer and all employees.

Pros

-Management is very understanding and flexible with family emergencies, sick days, appointments and areas outside of work that need urgent attention. -Staff have PTO that accrues over time, paid holidays, 40 hours of sick time per year, and birthdays or a day of our choice is now considered a holiday one day per year. -Overall a friendly atmosphere -Everyone seems to learn from and help each other -Complimentary tea and coffee every day -The staff at Renaissance are very community oriented with donations, fund raisers and volunteering for charities. There are teams that volunteer up to every quarter. -The new CEO seems to be very genuine and ready to make positive changes.

Cons

-Not many employees believe that the company represents its mission statement because it's more financially driven. -Goals increase every year even if they were not met the previous year(s). -There's a lot of position insecurity, if employees are struggling to meet KPI's or are not liked, they will often be picked at until they leave or get pushed into a position that gets eliminated. -Going from hourly to salary was clearly done to benefit the company. Employees who have worked overtime have calculated their income to be about $4 per hour (depending on the hours worked) instead of having time in a half. -During all hands meetings, employees are afraid to voice their thoughts because there was someone in the past who was fired shortly after an honest and blunt statement. -There are promises made that are not followed through with such as the option to work from home. -If employees are interested in a different position internally, it's difficult and rare to move once you're in a position.
