Pros

-easy -little to no overtime -free lunch twice a week -most people are friendly -location convenient -the perks are good, they try to be good to employees -if you want a lax job where you don't try too hard (and don't care about your work) with reasonable perks and good pay, this place will probably be great for you -CEO is a funny guy and often mispronounces words

Cons

- look at the reviews for Remilon, which is actually this company. The only reason the ratings here are so high is because they changed names earlier this year. - their main business is selling student data to for-profit schools (University of Phoenix, etc.) - some employees are extremely difficult to work with

Study.com really values the strong GTD work ethic of its employees. We're sorry you didn't have that experience. We realize each employee perceives the work environment differently. We're proud to have such a motivated, high-achieving team that has helped us create a thriving subscription service to help students earn college credit and improve their grades. Our subscription service for our learning resources is a core part of our business model. However, another part of our business is in helping students reach colleges and universities nationwide, as you mention in your review. We have a long list of partner schools including for-profit, not-for-profit, and public universities. We're recognized in the industry for our transparency and our respect for students' confidential information.

Pros

Nice People Collaborative Culture Equipped Kitchen

Cons

One of the notorious things to me is how overly money-hungry/cheap the company is. Here's why. First, it's cheap to its employees. As everybody knows, salaries are relatively low and my impression is the company seldom, if ever, gives out bonuses. It's also cheap to the department budget. There's a lot of red tape and little money to invest in tools or contractors that build the internal capabilities of the departments. Thus, people have to compromise quality. Maneuvering there like a budget makes things a struggle. Sadly, the focus of senior management seems to be more focused on making a company that will sell soon and not really invested in its long-term brand neither its customers (the product as you can see evidently is not very pretty to look at) nor to its employees (high turnover is evident as well). The all becomes more evident on the quarterly meetings. The company is growing double digits quarter over quarter and yet everybody knows the salaries are low. It’s like they flaunt in internal meetings how much money they're making and yet they don't give back it to its employees or departments. They display a 'we're good flag/got a good mission' flag that ultimately they use to pay less. Finally, to me, it's interesting that everybody claims that work and life balance is good here when I thought it was not. I think the expectation is to work closer to nine hours a day.
