      Pros

      These were the reasons I *used* to love working at Presence: - 100% remote - a culture of trust that remote employees would get the job done (and we did) - excellent colleagues - great benefits and pay Honestly, I had hoped this would be the last stop on my career path.

      Cons

      - Lack of transparency regarding the company's financial status and need for improvement (this was NEVER mentioned in company-wide meetings, which were always positive to the point of being unrealistically so) - Putting a Chief Product Officer in charge of Engineering hiring and layoff decisions (I have NEVER worked for a company that did this) - Almost 20% of the workforce laid off in one day without warning, including experienced developers, and ALL quality assurance employees who have any experience with the product - Despite the mass layoffs, they are hiring to replace those employees with a handful of "senior"-level candidates to give the appearance of an efficient, high-caliber organization from an org chart perspective - Mass layoffs come at a time when employee teams had just been rearranged to better address company's core initiatives to increase revenue, and one day (...ONE DAY!) after being told by above management that our positions were not in jeopardy

      Thank you for your review. Transparency and employee engagement are core to our business, and we are always working to deliver on this. Our recent reorganization was focused on re-centering our business around our clinical expertise and investing in areas that will enable us to better serve our providers and schools. This was a difficult process, and we appreciate the value that team members have added to Presence during their time with us.

      Pros

      Love working from home. My provider support manager is excellent. There has been ample work. Not too many tech difficulties. I like the system for taking data.

      Cons

      Unfortunately, Presence Learning decided to significantly lower the pay rates of all employees, without warning. They included the new rates, which is a $13 an hour decrease for indirect services in the contract, to be effective two days after the contract was sent. This is POOR business practice. It sends a loud message that the leaders of this company do not have respect for the SLPS, who are needed for this company to survive and thrive. I am deeply disappointed, and I am now researching other companies to work for. Never expected this to happen!

      Pros

      Working from home is a bonus and the tech support was amazing. Beyond those two things, it can be challenging for this to become a regular job with a steady income unless you happen to be a favorite (featured on their website).

      Cons

      During my years at Presence, I saw SLPs not give enough hours to sustain a decent living. I saw SLPs just not called back after summer. I saw SLPs told they would work full time only to get 10 hours scattered over a full week which means you can't work anywhere else. They treat you like employees without the benefit of being an employee benefits. I say stay far away from this company if you want to actually have much of an income.
