Exciting work environment with rapid growth - Group Payroll Manager Contour Education Employee Review

The people are the real deal. Genuine care for the students, passion and goodwill everywhere you look, with people going out of their way because they actually want the kids to do well. That kind of culture is rare and almost impossible to fake.

Growth has outpaced the systems and processes underneath it. Too much still depends on individuals holding things together in their heads rather than proper repeatable process, and the urgent stuff constantly eats the time that should go to the work that would make things less urgent.

Tutors are paid well for their experience, they receive great mentorship, and always have extra roles or positions that they can take up if they wish. The company has great benefits all round.

Pay misses and miscalculations were consistent at Contour, but are much more infrequent now. A very intense culture that unspokely promotes working extra unpaid time, and taking unreasonable shifts in the name of making an Impact. Strict structure for tutors to abide by sometimes removes the freedom of teaching approaches. Management is manipulative and fails to be transparent about their intentions.
