Pros

The mission Relationships with customers & coworkers

Cons

Your voice will not be heard. They tell you you're important and they value their people, but they don't act that way. Big customers get it all, the small customers are just $$ and an annoyance. Their product strategy is more about the company NOT about what's best for ALL of their customers.

Pros

Good product lines for schools.

Cons

My boss was a total joke. Everyone thought so. I went to HR and they did nothing to help, just wanted to hear the scoop on the drama. They claim to put people first as one of their core values but they say it because they know they have to.

Pros

great suite of products and amazing vision for the future. Products truly meet the needs of the customers and solve important challenges with education. Working for Renaissance you really do make an impact on communities and you get the sense of that every day.

Cons

With sales specifically, the commission and pay is the most messed up I've ever seen at any company. There is this completely secret formula that is used to determine what each person's yearly sales quota should be. Once the sales quota is determined they work from there to identify a "target earnings for the year". From there they determine the amount of commission you get paid per deal. So you have peers with similar target earnings but drastically different quotas. Some people get a quota of over $1,000,000 in new business while others get a new business quota of only $500,000, and what happens is if both hit their quota they'll end up making around the same amount of $$. Lots of people think there is favoritism happening behind the scenes where if you're friends with the right people you get a low quota and if you're not in with the right people you could easily end up with a ridiculously large quota.
