Pros

Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people. Six Red Marbles has been in business for 20 years. Happy Anniversary! People at Six Red focused on how to make things better, how to improve, and how to impact education and learning. Keep positive please on ideas...on the future, for children and adults. For clients. And for a higher purpose toward learning and education. Growth of people and clients were important in the past, no matter what stresses were encountered. Stay focused on your future and ways of achieving. Help new people and new hires understand the importance of ideas, not criticism of present or former staff.

Cons

The roots of Six Red Marbles were born out of beautifully designed products, its clients, its service, its quality. There were three founders through a merger of three organizations between 2008-2011 and three additional exec team members who believed in overachieving for clients, in absolute quality, in service, and in giving through 2014. The leadership team also consisted of many directors, so please remember when you criticize "former management" that you criticize the directors you promoted to VPs in 2014 and who still work for you or who left the organization between 2014-2016 as your VPs. Six Red hired very strong people and very diverse people--unique styles were welcome not criticized. Six Red operated in a very quick, fast-paced environment. I fear the culture of openness, agility and creativity isn't the same anymore. Let go of your fears...whatever they may be. Generate new followers with innovative ideas and new ways of doing things.

Pros

Senior leadership is communicative and transparent about how the company is doing. Even though education has been hit hard over the past few years the company actually seems to be doing better than before. Everyone is rally focused on our customers. The company has removed some really toxic personalities recently. Very accepting culture.

Cons

Benefits are mixed. 401K match, flexible time off, and fitness reimbursement are great, but the healthcare needs to be better.
