Pros

If your last name is Creamer you have a good chance at a C-suite position that you definitely aren’t qualified for. No Christmas bonuses but at least Damian can buy 3 cyber trucks!

Cons

They’ll say it’s work from home(it isn’t for at least 90 days and then probably longer until you kiss some posterior for management). They’ll tell you that the job isn’t that hard. It may not be but I gaurantee you’ll probably be the only one actually working. I hope you like gossip, drama, singing and adversarial HR team ignoring medical requests(my ada lawyer is already looking at a suit) don’t even bother responding Noelle. Your last name is the reason this company sucks. Hiring you as CPO a relative instead of someone qualified to run the business is the issue. The CTO is Damian’s best friend. The whole company is an ouroboros eating its own tail. Hope and pray you’re related to someone that works there because if you aren’t they are going to treat you like garbage.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. While I respect your perspective, I want to clarify a few important points for accuracy and context: On Cybertrucks: StrongMind does not own three Cybertrucks. We own one, which is being wrapped for promotional purposes as part of our student outreach strategy. On leadership and qualifications: I was appointed Chief People Officer because of my professional background, not my last name. My career includes leading large-scale people, culture, and professional development initiatives for Fortune 500 companies, as well as founding and running my own businesses. Beyond that, I have supported StrongMind from the sidelines in numerous ways for well over a decade and stepped fully into this role during a time when strong leadership was needed. Titles matter less to me than impact, and my focus has always been on building culture and supporting people. On family-founded companies: Yes, StrongMind is family-founded. That means we hold each other to higher standards, not lower ones. We work side by side, and anyone who knows me knows my door and inbox is open. Many team members bring concerns directly to me, and I take those conversations seriously. (noelle.creamer@strongmind.com) On HR and medical requests: It is not the practice of this company to ignore accommodations. We comply with all ADA requirements, and any requests for accommodations are reviewed and addressed through the appropriate process. On public money: StrongMind is a for-profit company. We re-invest the dollars we earn from our partner schools into technology, AI, curriculum, and many other services that directly support students and families. Every decision we make is guided by how to best serve them (not by siphoning resources elsewhere.) It’s too bad that during your time here, you couldn’t see the value in the contributions I’ve made or the people-first initiatives I’ve led. But to anyone reading this, I want to assure you that feedback whether positive or negative is taken seriously. We understand that no work environment will meet the needs & preferences of everyone and we get that different work cultures suit different people. Our leadership team is fully committed to listening, learning, and improving each and every single day. Every decision we make...from team structure to Cybertruck marketing investments...is about one thing: serving students and families with excellence. That mission will always guide us forward 💚 —Noelle Creamer, CPO

Pros

Great team, culture and things are moving in a positive direction. Definitely a company that allows you to grow professionally if that is your goal!

Cons

The situation with the Charter for our school has added stress for all and it has been interesting to see it all unfold...CSuite continues to loop us in as much as possible and there is light at the end of the tunnel!!

Thank you so much for your feedback! We appreciate your recognition of the positive momentum, strong culture, and opportunities for professional growth. These are strengths we’re committed to nurturing. We know the charter situation has created an added layer of stress, and we are so grateful for the resilience, professionalism, and focus our team has shown during this time. Challenges like this are difficult but they also bring out the best in our people. I also want to thank you for your acknowledgment of leadership’s transparency, that means a lot to us. You’re absolutely right...the path forward is about working the solution, not dwelling on the problem! That’s exactly where our energy is 🙏 We’re making every effort to ensure that when this chapter closes (and it will!) we’ll emerge stronger and even better equipped to serve our schools and partners. The light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter every day, and we’re excited about the future we’re building together. Thank you for continuing to show up for our mission and for each other. 💚 Noelle Creamer, CPO

Pros

Leadership is investing in a new culture that prioritizes people and trusts team members to do their best for the families and students they serve.

Cons

A lot of change in a relatively short time, with changing priorities.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share these thoughts and for recognizing that culture takes time to nurture. StrongMind is a really special and unique place! We will continue to build an environment where people feel trusted, supported, and connected to the work we do for our students and families. We do change often 😅 but it’s all part of growing, adapting, and staying responsive to the needs of those we serve. We know it’s not for everyone, but for those who share our passion and values, the journey is worth it. Thank you for being here with us! Noelle Creamer, CPO
