      Pros

      Never have I worked for a company that cares more about their employees than CFC. As a successful social enterprise providing top notch SEL curriculum, CFC is in a unique position to be able to offer their employees a mission we can get behind and really great benefits. Has it been easy place to work, no. We've been through several layoffs since 2020 and leadership changes, however so have so many other companies and many of those companies have not provided the amazing compassion in which CFC handled their changes. Through all these changes, I believe we are in a good place to move forward and provide an even greater impact to children. The benefits of SEL are undeniable!

      Cons

      As mentioned above, CFC has been through a lot over the past 4 years, not unlike other companies. I think sometimes we forget about our own motto "Grow Kinder." We are an SEL company yet we have coworkers who struggle with managing their own emotions. We all need to take a breath and remember what we have working for CFC and what we can all work to fix, collectively. We will only be successful if we stop pointing fingers and, instead, work together as a team. There are so many good reasons to be at CFC!

      Pros

      The only reason you should work here is for the passionate and kind colleagues that are in the trenches with you, and for products that you can stand behind. The organization and the products are truly wonderful. This review is strictly for the sales team, specifically management.

      Cons

      Despite this being a mental health company, the EPMs suffer greatly despite our years of feedback. Yes, the team will never go back to the glory days but it’s really heartbreaking that there are so many missed opportunities to improve the culture. Sales leaders do not take any accountability and get very defensive - the “recovery” plan is a testament to this. The latest version of the commission structure is extremely disappointing, most of us are making a third of what we used to make despite carrying triple the workload since the layoffs. If you are looking at the open sales positions it is important that you know that none of the managers will make you feel appreciated and will actually recognize your efforts. Do not let them fool you with “we walk the walk of SEL or nonprofit sales” this is a heavily focused numbers and quota driven team that tracks how many calls and emails you send. You will not receive the raises you deserve or a title promotion no matter how hard you work. The managers do not manage up or advocate for you.

      As a leader in social-emotional development, we’re committed to prioritizing employee well-being. We actively seek staff input to improve the work experience and know that sometimes we might not get it right. Navigating market changes and shifting roles can be tough, especially during busy times. However, each of us contributes to building and maintaining our team culture. Keeping our finances strong is key to achieving our mission and making a real difference in children’s lives worldwide. While we track metrics to hit our goals, our focus remains on the quality and impact of our work, not just the numbers. Each year, we review our compensation to make sure our pay remains competitive with the market, and we look at equity across different groups to fix any gaps. This year, we rolled out new pay practices and salary bands for more transparency and clearer growth paths. We’re also reviewing our commission structure. We regularly recognize employees for reaching tenure milestones and are committed to making sure everyone feels seen and valued as we keep working to improve our work environment. We take your feedback seriously, and are intent on co-creating a positive culture that aligns with our shared values, where we can collaborate openly, communicate honestly, hold each other accountable, and support one another. Thank you for sharing your perspective and for your continued commitment.
