Steady decline- a good start for entry level experience

Pros

Health and Work Benefits are good, especially if you’re married and have a family. They are now open to working remotely.

Cons

The pay is low (minimum wage for both hourly and salary- they’ve had to increase my salary just to meet the minimum at one point) and there is real no place to grow if you haven’t been working there for about 10 years. No room to negotiate salary- when they offer you an opportunity to for a promotion they act like it’s huge and only throw you a 6% raise. This will usually happen towards the end of the year so you’re not eligible for a “merit increase” which is supposed to offset inflation. Merit increases are no more than 3%. If the manager really likes you, they’ll throw you a bone.

Great culture, but everyone is underpaid and overworked

Pros

You'll love your coworkers and the benefits are pretty stellar. Those two things kept me in this job a lot longer than I thought I would.

Cons

Definitely was underpaid for the amount of work, expect to take up a lot of slack for no extra pay if someone leaves - they won't hire anyone new for ages and ages. Opportunities for growth are limited.

Only ok, not outstanding

Pros

Decent benefits. Free fruit three times a week. They aren't shy about spending money on their employees, which is nice. They're willing to try new things and make mistakes. They have a great holiday party and nice offices in the Watergate complex.

Cons

My biggest complaint is a lack of work/life balance. As the company grows, they aren't streamlining processes. It just keeps getting more bloated with middle management and tasks. I'm not sure if their digital strategy in the College market is going to be a winning one, but they're trying to remain relevant as course material moves to digital resources.
