What is the company culture like at Spear Education?

Good culture and good pay with benefits

Office politics, needing to fit their ideal employee mold.

Good culture and good people

A lot of change and transformation

Spear used to be a great company to work for under previous leadership. Since the new CEO joined it has completely changed for the worse. EVERY leader in the organization has been let go and replaced. No one seems to be safe in their role. There has been nothing but turnover for the last 2 years. We have had 3 different leaders over our sales organization in just 4 years and now we are not even hiring anyone to replace the one who most recently quit. Nothing but red flags here. There are so many great people that work here but unfortunately with all of the new leadership the culture has completely changed and the level of uncertainty is at an all time high every day.

The CEO and CFO along with the culture they have instilled since joining the organization. They present a lot of fluff in the company wide meetings and then never show up to any of the onsite events/activities with employees. All leadership talks about is engagement and building culture but then none of them attend when we have onsite events like Wellness Day, onsite lunches, etc.

The people and the culture are incredible! It is a fun places to work. There is a lot of opportunity for professional development and learning new things.

There is some lack of cross-departmental communication, but it is getting better!

Used to be a great culture

- promoting underqualified employees - leadership lacks implementation knowledge and overall business understanding (day to day) - underpaid by the amount of work that you are expected to do - client facing teams don't adhere to process and are very resistant to change

Great place to work before new leadership took over Had high performing, high quality people led by founders People who knew dentistry and cared about the customer

Private equity and new C-Suite is a disaster Power hungry, infighting, blame culture Management going in circles, can't make decisions Seem focused on inflating profitability to hit a target to sell company again Don't seem to care about long-term impact on employees, customers or the business Great employees are leaving or let go every couple weeks

Good pay, quarterly bonus, Unlimited time off (This is so they don't have to pay you out when you leave the company)

-No Formal Training, or any training for that matter -Flat commission rate -Huge gap of miscommunication between departments -Multiple CRMs -Too many systems in place, making things more complex than they have to be. -No Opportunity for Career Advancement -Look up the review from Oct 3rd, 2022, that is still happening Spear's lack of quality management is what make this a company of high churn of employees. They have been using "performance based firings" as a way to get rid of people for their lack in numbers. You could be the best rep on the team, and they would find something to fire you for. I even raised my concerns for my situation, and was fired for raising my concerns, If you are put on a PIP here, they have no intention of keeping you, its just to protect themselves. You will not have any training whatsoever and even if you are a top performer with no training they will still let you go. If you have any issues, do not say anything because it will be used against you. They ask for employee surveys that are "Anonymous", however if you leave a bad survey, you are enemy number 1, they are not anonymous. You will be let go before your quarterly bonus even if you worked the whole quarter, and you will be not given any severance, they truly treat their employees like a number, and are so cold if you even question how they operate. Management does not care about you, even if you have a death in the family, they expect you to care more about the company. They preach their STRIVE values, however they do not even follow along with their own company values.
