Pros

The office environment is fantastic especially after some upgrades they made to the office in 2018/19. The people are very creative and want to deliver a quality product. Some work from home is allowed which is wonderful.

Cons

Management is slow to respond to employee concerns, a big one being pay. If you contract at all for this company pay can be slow and they are not always proactive about making sure you receive your pay in a timely manner. It also seems that some people have been placed in management positions because of how long they have been with the company and have never been reevaluated in any critical way to make sure that they suit the role. Unfortunately, that leads to a lot of incompetencies and over-hiring of contractors to compensate.

Pros

My employers take care of me and my needs.

Cons

As a contractor you have to be proactive in searching out new work. Full time positions are hard to come by.

Pros

Almost everyone works incredibly hard and truly cares about providing quality resources to teachers/students; people and colleagues are friendly and helpful; small environment can make it easy for people to move up/transition roles; unlimited PTO, and generally good benefits; direct supervisors are kind, caring, and truly helpful; good base salary and commission for sales

Cons

Company is growing but still maintains the mentality of being small, so things run with minimal staff, which requires employees to stretch and wear numerous hats without pay increase or incentives; hybrid work schedule for "collaboration" in 2026 when half of the employees live out of of state and most competitors offer remote work; inconsistent policies with regard to who has to follow rules and who doesn't; high turnover or firing without plans for who will take over that role; majority of leadership is not great, no concern for work-life balance, parental responsibilities, no appreciation for how hard the bottom and middle-line works -- it's never enough; ridiculous goals set annually and then earned bonuses aren't paid out in full because those goals (shockingly) aren't met; employees who are favored are allowed to treat people poorly without consequence
