Pros

Renaissance had good products with a very large and loyal customer base.

Cons

Company has raised their prices on products every year, with little added value (customer perception). They have done little to change the market's perception and implementation of AR, so customers are still using the way they did 10 years ago and find little reason to pay the increase in pricing. In addition, there is an inward focus, especially on the field Sales. The hoops they have field sales jumping through to "document their activity" is unheard of in the industry. If you want to be micro-managed, this

Pros

When I started at Renaissance almost 20 years ago, I believed in the fact that by working here I would be part of a company that impacts students' learning opportunities in unique and phenomenal ways. This has never been more true. In addition to seeing the effects of our day-to-day challenges manifest themselves into confident smiles and deeper curiosity in students, I see a similar effect happening in the educators and employees that embrace the professional learning opportunities offered. Management is supportive of employees using time at work to further develop career skills and cross-departmental relationships. Renaissance is a company that values making connections, deeper learning, and self-discovery.

Cons

Because we are an innovative company with dedicated employees always seeking to improve the lives of others, life-work balance can be hard to manage.
