Pros
- Only about 5% of the company actually works. If you are in the 95% you have the responsibilities of an easy part time job and collect paychecks while waiting for those ahead of you to quit or retire - 20 days PTO - 10% retirement match
Cons
Career growth has nothing to do with merit or what value you bring. Striving to do your best work doesn't move you up the ladder any faster. Career progress is achieved exclusively by doing whatever your direct supervisor says and staying put about 50%-100% longer than you expect to get promoted. Hopefully your manager has some pull upstream to eventually get the promotion approved. Salary raises and bonuses are miserably low. Negotiate your worth on the way in because after that you are stuck there no matter what you do. Serious disconnect between the levels of management. C level is on another planet preaching down to us. VPs are vague dreamers that don't know how to run a business. 'Executive' leadership are neither executives nor leaders and have no idea what they are doing or how to get work done. Just about everyone else treats the job as a part time gym membership - effort only happens when it gets visibility or around a peak season. Completely failing to digitally transform and there is a MASS exodus occurring of anyone with any marketable talent The company has faced 7 years of sustained profit loss. We haven't figured out how to deliver assessments digitally and we've already had 1 round of massive layoffs. I think there is a good chance we are living through the last days of the College Board and a big player in education. Tests are optional and tech companies are getting into the space with better digital solutions. The future does not look bright.
