Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Respect I receive and engagement in operational matters.
Supportive and affable, but not particularly competent or upskilled.
very compassionate and caring individuals.
Relatable and approachable leadership committed to expanding the mission globally.
Genuinely interested in good work/ life balance
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
The leadership team needs to learn to treat its employees with respect and stop playing games to demoralize and break down team members.
Strategy and synergy. We dont have a plan. We're just operating business as usual from the 90s expecting it to work. It doesnt.
Hire more people from outside with real world experience in education
Learn to understand the needs of Employees first. Do not ever forget that past employees have contributed something to you. They may not be the best to fulfill your ego but you dont need to disrespect them. Take anonymous surveys from your employees.
Stop promoting favorites and start promoting on merit alone.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
I am not eligible for benefits ..I receive hourly pay only.
health care has high deductible but negotiates great rates.
Fair pay and great benefits
The benefits are fair and the rates are comparable with other like companies.
Benefits include wellness incentives for exercise, mental wellness care, and nutrition.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
More transparency. We get our sales goals on a post-it note. It is the same with goal attainment. Sometimes, I wonder if they are running two sets of books.
Review from Sales Dept
The pay is decent but the health insurance is awful and other benefits are minimal.
Horrible pay compared to industry. If you're claiming to be tech, you have to pay like it.
More equity rewards for performance and tenure
The company oy values employees who bow down to the likes of executive leadership team. There is a racket and group of employees in Columbus location who do not allow anybody else from other locations to grow.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Coordination and expertise in all aspects of the job.
everyone gets involved no matter what level.
Surrounded with friendly and supportive teams.
Friendly, competent, driven. Most are former teachers who are both passionate and used to lower compensation.
Working constructively together to bring new ideas to the table.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Coworkers are so scared of management that they hide and won't stand up for themselves in return for a paycheck.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Team members support and champion each other. Like soldiers in a war zone.
The people are hard-working, friendly, encouraging and supportive
Teamwork, learning and training on the job.
The pay rate is good.
We have a good product and we know it
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Radically change level 1 and 2 leadership
Many things. Mainly the CTO abd few so called VPs. Its a school environment.
Stop promoting people who have worked at the company for 20+ years who aren't qualified.
What did you like most about the interview process?
Fast, transparent, and very professional.
Friendly, positive and encouraging people
Two rounds and done. 3 week process. Not drawn out and great communication.
Multi Layered - non repetitive questions
I got to see the company from multiple perspectives
Review from Marketing Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
I had to interview with several people and each interview took hours and the interviewers asked some really inane questions. It was a grueling process.
Focus more on Leadership skills
Not that great. They go by looks and appearance and communication rather than judging your knowledge.
What makes you most happy at work?
the people that I work with are kind.
Being able to contribute to a great product with great people on my team
Working on something that helps people is very satifying.
Colleagues, flexibility, and great clients who want to make education fair and equitable
Friday lunchtime paycheck distribution and bowling for cheese burgers beer parties.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Too many pigeon managers -- you set everything up, but they come in, poop on everything, and fly away thinking they actually contributed.
Review from Sales Dept
Needs to transform into a startup
you have created a sense of dictatorial environment where folks are not ready to give their honest reviews or opinion. You are not the only company in this world. Always remember that. And a sinciere advise to your CTO and the Chumpy Columbus guy - Stop your politics.
They want to be a startup, but can't get there through the current approach. The owners want revenue. So they go through CEOs hoping the next one will be the rainmaker. Stop. Walk your talk. Don't promote 20+ year employees who aren't qualified. Clean management house. Promote real talent.
