Pros

A small paycheck for all the mess

Cons

Not Actually a StrongMind Job: If you think you’re working for StrongMind, think again. You’ll actually be stuck in the Primavera building. Do yourself a favor and look up those reviews before signing on—you’ll see exactly what you’re in for. Favoritism Runs the Show: Policies exist, but only for certain employees. Some can take 2-hour breaks, talk all day, sleep, and do the bare minimum—others get micromanaged into the ground. "Leadership" Is a Joke: Management is hands-off unless they’re playing favorites. Any concerns? Expect gaslighting, indifference, or being ignored entirely. Unprofessional Work Culture: Gossip and drama are constant. Slack channels exist just to talk trash about coworkers. If you’re not part of the group prepare for side-eyes and passive-aggressive sabotage. Company Property Mysteriously Tampered With: Equipment was being messed with, and—surprise!—the security camera footage from that day just happened to be deleted. Admin Actively Interferes with Work: Imagine trying to get things done, only for your tabs to be mysteriously closed while you’re in the middle of working. Productivity sabotage at its finest. Surprise Job Duties: The job description does NOT include half of what you’re forced into doing. For example, mandatory proctoring—without being told in advance or properly compensated for mileage. Payroll Issues Galore: Hope you like gambling! Final paychecks mysteriously short, “errors” in paychecks that always seem to favor the company, and mileage that somehow disappears. Toxic Events: Work outings include alcohol, which quickly turns into a disaster. Your coworkers won’t be able to handle their drinks and will loudly "whisper" about physically harming others. When you report these threats—because, after all, this is supposed to be a zero-tolerance workplace—HR will brush it off with a laugh and say, "Well, she hasn’t hit you yet." Professionalism at its finest. Accommodations? What Accommodations? Need an adjustment for medical reasons? Too bad. Unless you’re a favorite—then the entire office can be rearranged for you. No room for growth- people have been working there 15+ years and are in the same spot, with hardly a raise.

Pros

StrongMind was founded by a true entrepreneur who still leads the company today, and that mindset shows up across the organization. Employees have real autonomy in how they work, and ideas are welcomed from every level. It feels like an all-hands-on-deck environment where people can make an impact. The mission is clear and meaningful. There is a strong focus on supporting students and families, which helps guide decisions and keeps internal politics low. The culture is positive and supportive. People are kind, collaborative, and leadership makes an effort to keep employees engaged and connected.

Cons

Like many growing organizations, there are times when priorities evolve quickly as new opportunities emerge. This can occasionally require teams to adjust focus or shift between initiatives. As the company continues to grow, there are opportunities to further streamline processes and maintain consistency across teams.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this! We really appreciate it. I’m so glad the mission, autonomy, and overall vibe are showing through for you. That “jump in and make an impact” energy is exactly what we’re going for around here 😊 And fair call on priorities shifting. We’re growing, and we know that can feel fast at times. We are very dedicated to working on keeping things clearer and more consistent as we continue to scale. We are so grateful to have you on this journey with us and so glad you’re part of StrongMind!
