Pros

Best game like content for students

Cons

Current executive team is completely disconnected from the needs of the customer. Disappointed when Jonathan G. appointed the co-president model with two people that are not capable of relating with employees let alone customers. The company had great potential to be a leader in the industry but these two are running the company to the ground and Jonathan is blind to what's happening. No diversity in the executive team to understand and relate to both buyers and users. People who lack qualifications have been promoted to positions they should NOT be in. I have never seen HR support an employee when they have been mistreated. Doing what's right rather than what's easy has become a slogan.. the company is not performing according to the values they profess to have. Company won't hire enough professionals to complete any of the product line.

Thank you for you review. We understand the hesitation to jump onboard the “Co-President” bandwagon, but we honestly feel that Co-President brings complementary strengths and valuable perspectives to leading Imagine Learning to the next level as a leading EdTech provider for educators and schools. Our HR team works tirelessly to address concerns and issues as they arise, and I’m disappointed you feel they have not supported you or others you are aware of. Please reach out to our HR team to discuss these circumstances—they would want to hear your feedback. Although we can’t control for each individual action, we believe we have the best employees working for us—employees who want to do what is right to meet the needs of our customers while collaborating as individuals, teams, and departments. We’ve had a lot of change over the past couple of years, which can be difficult to navigate, but we feel incredibly positive about the direction these changes are taking us as a company and we’re glad to have you onboard as we move forward. Thank you again for the candid feedback.

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.
