You will regret your decision to work here!

Business Outlook

Pros

Remote, summer and winter hours

Cons

Terrible CSuite and Executive Leadership. No need to be qualified to work as an executive you just have to be good friends with someone in CSuite or pretend and preach that you know what you are doing. Nepotism is alive and well! Lower levels of management and front line staff are overworked, depleted and treated poorly. Toxic environment full of egocentric, arrogant, dishonest, deceptive and incompetent leaders. Please trust the reviews and avoid this organization it will be your biggest regret in employment if you don’t.

Pros

- Fully remote work and team members are hardworking & personable. - Unlimited sick days.

Cons

Very chaotic workplace, as many have mentioned previously. Leadership has no idea what they are doing and micromanages every little aspect of your work. Expectations and workload are incredibly high with little to no support. Salary is okay, but benefits are awful. They are the type of fully remote company that doesn't trust their employees and expects them to be available in stupid and pointless meetings that add no value so that they know you are online and working! But they also complain that their employees aren't productive enough.

Pros

Good to grow within the company (title changes are handed out in place of compensation)

Cons

- Pay is incredibly low compared to market rates - The "inner circle" that worked closely with the founders since day 1 get special treatment and call the shots regardless of their current titles - Tend to take shortcuts for everything, including the product delivered to students - Management is unaware of the ins and outs of their own departments - If concerns are ever brought up with management or HR, you are given the cold shoulder for not being a "team player"
