Pros

There is a lot of potential here at Imagine Learning, products are good and getting better. Field teams are top notch.

Cons

Leadership. Jeremy Cowdrey and Bryan Sparks (co-presidents) lack skillset, effective decision making skills and overall corporate leadership. Through their inability to run a company effectively they are doing more harm than good. If things continue to stay on course, this company will lose any and all edge it has held in the market.

Imagine Learning Response

Thank you for your feedback. We agree that our programs are not only good but getting better all the time. And that our field teams are the best! We understand how it can be difficult to adjust to changes, especially in leadership, and that sometimes employees may not be able to see the full vision we’re working toward because as an Executive Team we are not always able to share sensitive information such as potential acquisitions, personnel changes, or product decisions being considered. We are, however, working together as Co-Presidents to lead Imagine Learning to the next level as a leading digital educational provider and to be as transparent as possible with our employees on how we’re accomplishing this. We know we have the right people in place company-wide to reach our goals. Again, thank you for your feedback. We take it seriously. And we’re so grateful to have you as a part of the Imagine Learning team to help us continue moving in the right direction.

Pros

Pay is competitive. Remote work. A few days a week of regional travel at the federal compensation rate. This has been an educational entry-level job to learn the basic stakeholders and sales cycles for K-12 curriculum. The people I work with are great and knowledge/experience is a strong resource at this company.

Cons

The higher leadership of the organization does not foster a positive, collaborative culture. Different teams/regions work in silos. Any collaboration and communication happens primarily by our own individual efforts. Also, systems change yearly. It's difficult for everyone to adapt, and as a result the sales team has little faith in following the process. Job security is iffy. There has been continuous talk of eliminating my position in my state for over a year now.
