Scholastic – Employees are made to feel worthless. We are in constant fear of losing our jobs. Each year a new way to assess our success is implemented which just adds additional criteria and creates confusion on what we're being rated on. It builds in extra supports for us to be fired for almost any reason.

Was hat Ihnen am Interviewprozess am besten gefallen?
Scheduling is easy. They were respectful of my time.
Was sind einige der besten Dinge an Ihrem Team?
We support one another because there is zero support from management. If we don't hold each other up, we have nothing.
Was läuft falsch und wie kann es verbessert werden?
Management needs to be respectful and stop drinking the kool-aid. We don't buy you propaganda so stop with the BS and just be real with us.
Was braucht das Führungsteam, um besser zu werden?
Less micro-managing of your employees (ie, "monitoring" phone calls without providing feedback) and more actual work of providing us with the tools we need to do our job.
Warum fühlen Sie sich unterbewertet und was würde Sie bei Ihrer Vergütung besser fühlen lassen?
Management constantly tells us we are a team and they're looking for creative ideas for XYZ. Any and all ideas presented are immediately shot down and we're told a variety of reasons it won't work. When you don't offer up any more ideas because you're defeated, now you're not a team player.
Was muss geändert werden, um die Unternehmenskultur zu verbessern?
Treat your employees like you believe they can do the job you hired them for. Stop micro-managing. Provide us with the tools to do our jobs. When you ask us what customers are saying, don't say that's not true or educators don't think like that. How do you know? You're not talking to them.
