      Pros

      They have a decent time off policy.

      Cons

      Before you consider a job in Sales at Renaissance, ask what their turnover rate is in the sales department. Sales professionals have been leaving this company in huge numbers over the past 24 months. Other sales professionals in Edtech Companies are noticing and those that are recruiting, are snatching up Renaissance employees right and left. There are big, systemic problems within the sales organization at Renaissance Learning that have been evident for well over a decade. Beware. Some indications for this mass exodus: Unrealistic quotas, longstanding employees getting let go with no apparent reason, very low base salaries, sales teams getting shifted around every couple of years, no true sales leadership, a few veteran staff get promotions that are not posted and much micromanagement within the sales funnel by mid-management. NO opportunity for inside sales for promotion especially for those living in Wisconsin Rapids. This company is a giant within the industry due to acquisitions by private equity firms, not due to organic growth. They are all about bottom line profit and have lost their way.

      Pros

      Great products with wonderful people wanting to help schools and students. Renaissance has grown a lot and it gives sellers a robust product line to sell from. The autonomy over what you could do was also nice. I was never micro-managed and could really sell in the way that worked best for me.

      Cons

      There is a huge disparity between senior leadership and what's actually going on. Goals and comp plans change every year and aren't in favor of incentivizing sellers (in fact, it did the opposite). The culture is very corporate. A lot of startups were acquired most of which had fabulous, fun cultures, and Renaissance is not those things. I so badly wanted the culture to change, but it did not. The feel of a large sales org and feeling a disconnect in huge company meetings was disheartening. Sales leaders focus on the bottom line and dollar in a way that is so apparent, it really takes away from the mission. It takes forever to get things done or approved. Sometimes your regional VP has to go all the way to the top of leadership to get something approved they should have autonomy over. There is a huge lack of trust in the org. I also feel that things were so slow-moving and old school. Lots of Microsoft products, approval of small tasks, and just so much red tape made it exhausting and frustrating.
