Renaissance Learning, slowly dwindling

Inside sales executive

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Employee benefits have been amazing. PTO, Sick time, Holiday, and Maternity/paternity are all well above average. The Renaissance software itself is pretty competitive in the market and we're definitely one of the top k-12 software providers for assessment and practice programs.

Cons

New sales leadership is headed in the wrong direction and you can feel it across the organization. They promise to take care of the people, but then refuse to compensate accordingly. The comp plans go up 33% and out OTE stays the same, which boils down to us making 33% less off what we're actually bringing in. There has been a lot of people leaving for competitors and I think it will continue until something changes. I've talked with people throughout the sales organization and there is a growing frustration that Renaissance has past its peak with how we are treated and paid.

Pros

-Feels almost "nonprofit-like" in how the mission to accelerate learning for all truly guides activities -Senior leadership is imperfect, but approachable and generally open to feedback, see recent increases to salary for most of the Sales team -Genuinely kind coworkers

Cons

-Onboarding is clunky and needs to improve in a predominantly remote environment -Some middle-level leadership is weaker than others and needs developing or replacement -Communication needs improvement
