Pros
Just Right Reader has really wonderful people working there. My colleagues were hardworking, smart, and genuinely passionate about improving literacy outcomes for students.
Cons
In short: the CEO has absolutely no idea what she is doing, and very little empathy for other people. She micromanages to such an extreme degree (reading people's emails, needing to oversee every marketing material) that nobody can get any work done. She changes her mind every other day and the whole company follows her whims. Turnover is extremely high, and it's a very difficult work environment to thrive in because of the layoffs and firings. The other members of the senior leadership team can't push back on any of her decisions so there are no checks on her ideas or plans. Just Right Reader also has a terrible reputation in the industry because of her, and this makes many working relationships difficult.
