Pros

Coworkers, Decent Benefits, Remote, walk my dog

Cons

Following the acquisition by Risepoint, there was a noticeable shift in company culture. Many long-tenured employees were laid off without prior notice, creating an atmosphere of uncertainty. Leadership appears to prioritize superficial elements—such as company jingles shared during town halls—over meaningful recognition of employee contributions and accomplishments. The current work environment lacks a clear cultural identity, and many employees feel a persistent fear of job loss due to frequent organizational changes and evolving processes. The management style leans heavily toward micromanagement, which can be discouraging for those who value autonomy and trust in the workplace. While the company advertises attractive PTO policies, it’s important to look beyond the surface. Those seeking long-term stability and a supportive work culture may want to explore other opportunities.

Thank you for your years of service and for taking the time to share your feedback. We are happy to hear that you enjoy working with your team and that the remote work environment provides you with the flexibility to walk your dog. It sounds like our evolving organizational structure may be unintentionally causing you some discomfort. We encourage you to help us do better by connecting with your manager or a member of the People Team to discuss your feedback and recommendations in further detail. And although we are disappointed that you do not enjoy our Fireside Chat jingle as much as we do, we hope that you will continue to attend these optional sessions to stay connected to leaders and updates from across our organization.

Pros

- competent managers - phenomenal team leads - initially had great work-life balance

Cons

- any higher management is arguably incompetent and severely lack the communications one would think is needed for their position - limited growth opportunities - bright ideas, poor execution - general disorganization - subpar pay for the amount of work that is demanded of you - runs great employees/coworkers away - cares more about stats and quantity than quality of the students being retained - less about helping students and more about getting the "sale"

We are glad to hear that you had a positive relationship with your manager and the team leads and we appreciate your open and honest feedback on areas of improvement. Your comments about gaslighting and prioritizing quantity over quality are concerning as they are in opposition with our values and the standards to which we hold ourselves. This is certainly not in line with the experience or feelings we want for our employees to have, and will share your feedback with the proper members of the leadership team.
