HotChalk Employee Reviews

There have been several opportunities for growth both personally and professionally.

Review from Operations Dept

Fun and good environment to excel

Review from Operations Dept

I love working for this company. The one downside is that I have seen more people fired then I've seen at any company I've worked. Although I work hard and have a good attitude, I get nervous there is a low bar to be fired. With that said I'm all for getting rid of people who aren't hard workers.

Good company with opportunity to become a leader in the industry of academia

Review from Admin Dept

I have not been here long but I love what I have seen.

Review from Enrollment Dept

Transparency and social mission and Desire to create transformational impact

Review from Marketing Dept

Level of transparency and collaborative leadership, especially by the COO

Review from Operations Dept

My manager and other leaders I work with are hardworking and compassionate people. They understand workload limits and also when to push you further. I enjoy working with them every day. As far as the higher ups, meaning the people above my boss, I don't think I have talked to them since I was hired

Joe Patterson is a lead by example leader

Review from Admin Dept

So far the training and support has been great!

Review from Enrollment Dept

Training and development and internal opportunities for career growth.

Review from Operations Dept

Better employee communication, less nepotism, better comp. Give people focused job responsibilities instead of making everyone do multiple things. Company is making millions of dollars per year - end the austerity around raises.

Review from Enrollment Dept

BEING MORE TRANSPARENT. NO ONE REALLY LISTENS TO OR EVEN ASK ES WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE LEADS. WE CAN SEE TRENDS AND WHATS GOING ON IN THE FRONTLINES , WE ARE NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT LEADS AS EXCUSES; WE ARE GIVING FEED BACK FOR MARKETING /VENDORS TO MAKE TWEEKS ETC.. OR TO SAY THINGS ARE GREAT.

Review from Enrollment Dept

Listening to the people - there are a lot of great ideas out there that are overlooked everyday. Also cutting ties with problematic people - there are a lot of people still working in the company that have been openly divisive & counter culture. Yet, they still exist and that has been disheartening.

Review from Business Development Dept

Listening to hear, not listening to respond. Solutions are offered for many things, but because it may not fit the mold at the moment, it's not listened to or it's just brushed aside instead of tried.

Review from Business Development Dept

I appreciate the 401 match

Review from Operations Dept

Fair pay and good benefits

Review from Operations Dept

The new 401K match is exciting

Review from Enrollment Dept

I think I am paid well. The worst part is the healthcare, you only provide high deductible plans.

Now the 40lk match is best part of the package

Review from Admin Dept

Team members should have more equal compensation. There is a gap that is clearly evident between gender and race.

Review from Operations Dept

People are set at different pay scales even though they may do the same job, and raises are not always guaranteed

Review from Operations Dept

people of my team make more than i do. we do the same job and i more tenure then anyone my team

Review from Operations Dept

More frequent performance review and increase in compensation accordingly.

Review from Enrollment Dept

Many employees salaries are lower than benchmarks set by tools endorsed by the company. Double-digit increases in benefit costs more than offset the 2% raises many employees receive.

Review from Enrollment Dept

Committed to innovation and growth, design thinking and customer journey management

Review from Marketing Dept

The team is collaborative and thoughtful in ways to improve efficiencies.

Review from Operations Dept

High level of collaboration within teams

Review from Operations Dept

My teams are highly collaborative and we really push each other. Sure there are some weak links, but the good workers are really great.

We support each other and are fun to be with

Review from Enrollment Dept

GETTING OUR OWN LINE HELPED A LOT; WAY LESS LEAD DISPUTES.

Review from Enrollment Dept

At this point, the environment of our team is at an all time low. i do not know if there would be a way for everyone to get back on the same page.

Review from Business Development Dept

The team environment is not very great. There are always great people in the company, and I enjoy my relationships with them while I'm here, but there are a lot of people who would step on you to get what they want.

Review from Business Development Dept

Communication could be improved among different departments

Advocating for educators, teachers and schools

Review from Marketing Dept

Dynamic and friendly with great food!

Review from Operations Dept

Team members enjoy working together.

Review from Operations Dept

The senior Vice president of Admissions and employees genuine desire to service students and making a impact.

Review from Admin Dept

Most of us are trying to do the best to change lives and help students be better at what they do, Culture Club has been great at organizing small company events

Review from Enrollment Dept

Leadership could provide growth by promoting within instead of bringing in people from their former company.

There were a lot of interviews, but it was because they wanted to make sure I would contribute to the culture positively. They focused on the "culture fit" because they safe guard it and they mean it. They value internal referrals because those who work here know the important of good team work

Review from HR Dept

I liked the transparency that came from the interviewers and really felt like I would be valued if I was hired for the role, and everything that they said at the time was completely true and accurate.

Review from HR Dept

The process is usually a set of at least three separate interviews. Questions are good, not too hard, but they hone in on your skill set to be sure you are a good match.

Review from Admin Dept

The ability to do my job well and grow within my role.

Review from Operations Dept

Workin g with my team

Review from Operations Dept

being successful and adding to the company's success

Review from Enrollment Dept

Completing a big project that is successful in its ambition.

Equal pay and fast work pace.

Review from Operations Dept

The marketing department and senior leadership of the company function as their own company, and the rest of HotChalk serves their projects. In recent months we've begun moving in a positive direction as members of this population work toward uniting departments across the organization.

Lead quality. Inequitable distribution of leads likely to convert. This creates a feeling of a very steep uphill climb to perform at an acceptable level.

Review from Enrollment Dept

Missed targets and thin profit margins. New executives bringing on multiple ex-colleagues and family members without posting/interviewing for the positions, creating positions from thin air when other teams need reinforcements. Continued focus on quantity not quality.

Review from Enrollment Dept

The quality of the work has been lacking the last few months.

I work to do things that excite me. That doesn't mean that I don't enjoy going to work because I enjoy working with my coworkers and genuinely like what I do. Excitement is a stronger term that I would personally use when it comes to my work / occupation.
