Good people and a place that will give you a chance
Pros
-The people who do the work at Teachstone are phenomenal colleagues. They should be trusted with more -Remote work is great if you like it -Plenty of time off (though policy is antiquated) -The mission is great though overly broad -The company isn't going anywhere anytime soon as long as they stay written into Federal law
Cons
-Leadership not able to describe their vision so instead micromanages every aspect of the business -Organization relies too much on "the mission" to get and retain talent. Way behind on salary so it takes forever to fill open positions and recent turnover has been a whirlwind -No focus or appetite for saying "no" makes the organization over extended, over worked, and unable to deliver quality work "on-time". -Leadership not only speaks in a hyperbolic fashion but also acts in that way - everything is important, everything is urgent, everything is life or death, everything is amazing, everything is wonderful, everything is ... -Room for growth is role specific. Managers tend to get regular promotions, otherwise you have to switch teams or apply for new roles in the organization -Leadership not on the same page even on things as basic as what's in the budget (e.g. there were entire positions promised by one leader that weren't budgeted for by another) -Sales organization is a revolving door -Prioritizes profits over people but call themselves a B Corporation
