Pros

- For the most part, the culture is great and collaborative. - There are ample opportunities to work remote/hybrid, which allows for schedule flexibility. - Getting the week between Christmas and New Year's off without having to use PTO is great. - There are some great managers and people there, but make sure you ask plenty of questions in the interview to ensure it will be a good fit.

Cons

- The company is exceptionally top heavy. If everyone is in management, then there is little accountability for poor business decisions. Senior leadership lacks direction and focus. - Some of the things that made the culture great have gone away. Much of this happened during/after the pandemic, but never came back. - Make sure salary is negotiated up front because annual increases are not good, even with good performance reviews. - Insurance is very expensive out of pocket if you need to insure more than yourself. - Managers have zero input on annual increases or salaries of new hires. As mentioned above, even giving a high performing employee a great performance review has little to no impact. - Oddly enough, there is no reimbursement for industry certifications or continuing education. Strange being this is an education company. - No 401k match, but you do get a lump sum once a year.
