Pros

This used to be a great company with a great product. Nice people still work here.

Cons

The company has adopted new tooling that has only made the product worse. It's motto is that, "We're here for the teachers," but they're not. They're here for the Vulcan investors bottom line, but I don't think it's going to turn out that way. It's really sad. Plus the pay is lousy, unless you're on the leadersgip team. I'm looking for new employment.

Pros

fairly relaxed atmosphere, flexible schedules

Cons

slowly shifting to a more sterile corporate environment, everything run by a formula, just a smidge of the position being more important than the person in the position, and you can be swapped out for a different 'cog' if it helps meet the formula targets, regardless of what you have done, how long you have been there.

Thank you for this feedback. I’m sorry to read that you feel the position is more important than the person it. That is not the intent. We want our colleagues to know they are valued, and to feel it every day they come to work and that they are supported with what they need to help do their job successfully. I would encourage you to reach out to your manager or directly to me, so we can address your concerns. — Diana Blythe, Vice President, Content Development

Pros

Renaissance provides employees with an exceptional benefits package - from insurance all the way through the time off policies. I can put my family first when I need to because management truly does have a good understanding that sometimes we just need to do that. I have worked in several departments over my 17-year career at Renaissance. The people I work with are some of the kindest and most caring people I've had the pleasure to encounter in life. Management and employees are very helpful and every department I’ve worked in has taken a team approach. We help each other out when needed, support each other, and cheer each other on!

Cons

For an ed-tech company, the hardware (computers, phones, desks, chairs, etc.) that we are provided with are sorely lacking. Renaissance had taken a sales-heavy approach, so the sales group is provided with the latest hardware updates while other groups must rely on refurbished equipment or hand-me-downs. This does take a toll on our ability to efficiently assist our customers. The communication between departments could use some improvement. This is something that has gotten better through the years, but still needs to be improved upon.

I’m sorry to hear that you are having difficulties with your work related equipment. It’s certainly important to us that you have everything you need to perform your job to the very best of your ability. I would recommend you reach out to your manager or directly to me, if you feel comfortable, so we can directly address your concerns. — Cherie Glascock, Vice President, Customer Support
