Honest Saga Education Review

Pros

• Focus on DEI • Very mission-driven • WFH a plus • Good work/life balance; flexibility was a major plus • Meaningful/impactful work • Good people & culture

Cons

• Org structure is VERY top-down; staff often feels like they don't have a voice when it comes to decision-making, even on things where they should have a say (like company culture). • Executive team lacks strategic vision and direction, and this impacts everything from future viability/scalability & growth to internal operations & infrastructure. It says something that after 11 years the org is still in the startup/growth stage, despite claiming to be an industry leader. • Messaging from leadership is often hit-or-miss, with more misses than hits. Information delivery can be tone-deaf or illogical; decision communications are often not thought through, in terms of how staff will take the news. • There is a clear lack of trust in the Executive Team on the part of the staff, and there was a general, gradual erosion of this trust during the time I worked here. • There has been too little turnover in the leadership department. The lack of new perspectives and fresh ideas has harmed the organization and really stymied its growth, despite claiming to value innovation.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We appreciate insight from former staff members to help us grow as an organization. We’re grateful you recognized our commitment to DEI and our dedication to work-life balance. We pride ourselves on finding mission-driven individuals who enhance the impact of our work. Your review shows you care about Saga and its future. We take that seriously. We recognize our structure and communication have not always met our team's needs. Over the past year, we have taken steps to improve decision-making. We also created new opportunities for feedback and questions, including our bimonthly 'Ask Me Anything' sessions with the Executive Team. Your feedback about strategy, communication, and leadership turnover is valuable. We are building a long-term plan, reviewing internal communications, and introducing new leadership perspectives to drive growth and innovation. We value your honesty and are firmly committed to enhancing the employee experience. Thank you again for your contributions to Saga, and we wish you success in your future endeavors.
