The company violates many -- if not all -- of the social contracts that employees should value in a business setting, such as transparency, leadership accountability, acknowledgement of performance, and trust. The environment is highly political and emotionally demoralizing to an extent.
As a result, The Learning House has a grey and unenthusiastic energy to it. The “culture” that is aggressively being pushed by the CEO is nothing but a 1-way street that preaches employee motivation while turning a blind eye to the elephant in the room (that TLH simply hasn’t been a good employer). To say that it’s unnatural and forced is an understatement. Turnover is unsurprisingly very high.
Lastly, TLH is owned by a venture capital group in Connecticut that views the place as a boiler room -- specifically the enrollment department. Not that all VC groups are bad, but this one perfectly fits the negative stereotype.
