Pros

- competent managers - phenomenal team leads - initially had great work-life balance

Cons

- any higher management is arguably incompetent and severely lack the communications one would think is needed for their position - limited growth opportunities - bright ideas, poor execution - general disorganization - subpar pay for the amount of work that is demanded of you - runs great employees/coworkers away - cares more about stats and quantity than quality of the students being retained - less about helping students and more about getting the "sale"

We are glad to hear that you had a positive relationship with your manager and the team leads and we appreciate your open and honest feedback on areas of improvement. Your comments about gaslighting and prioritizing quantity over quality are concerning as they are in opposition with our values and the standards to which we hold ourselves. This is certainly not in line with the experience or feelings we want for our employees to have, and will share your feedback with the proper members of the leadership team.

Pros

Having spent the past year at Risepoint, one of the things I appreciate most is that the organization genuinely values people. There is a strong focus on collaboration, innovation, and creating an environment where employees can do meaningful work while maintaining balance in their lives. The mission is important, but so is the recognition that the people advancing that mission matter too. For professionals passionate about education, workforce development, healthcare, and creating opportunities for others, Risepoint offers a chance to contribute to work that has lasting impact.

Cons

Amazing and inclusive workplace for all

Thank you for sharing such a warm reflection on your first year. It's genuinely encouraging to hear that collaboration, inclusion, and a sense of purpose have defined your experience so far. Those are the result of the people here showing up for each other every day, and you're a part of that. We're especially glad that our mission has resonated with you. Doing work that matters, alongside people who care about it, is something we think about a lot when it comes to the kind of environment we want to build and sustain. Knowing that balance, growth, and meaningful contribution are coming through in your day-to-day experience is exactly what we hope to hear. Thank you for the thoughtful feedback and for the energy you bring to the team. We're grateful to have you at Risepoint and look forward to continuing to grow together.

Pros

Strategy at the surface looks great. The engine is interesting and effective, albeit the avenues of growth are quite limited—a great place to work on several interesting projects simultaneously.

Cons

Chaotic Decision-Making, No thoughts given by Exec Leadership to Change Management, Sequencing, and scaling things. Operations suffers from Poor Exec Leadership, a lack of thoughtful execution, and proper planning. Some parts of the organization are being run as a fiefdom. No processes and micro-management. No work-life balance.
