The company has raised the hourly rate for tutors less than $2/hour in 15 years. They assign micro-managing mentors who interfere with effectiveness and limit flexibility.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

The students often provide fulfilling experiences.

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

This is really an N/A as tutors are independent contractors and virtually never interact or work together.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

They need to open their minds and embrace the 21st century. Focus on compensating tutors fairly and improving the technological platform.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Management hoards profit at the top (the fancy decorative peaks of the building) and exploits labor at the bottom (the foundation, that is). They have managed this model for a long time and have held the market almost exclusively, so the fall will be slow, but they will change or be gone.
