Cons

Micromanagement, micromanagement, micromanagement, micromanagement, micromanagement

Pros

Great colleagues with exceptional expertise. Willing to share ideas to help schools, teachers, students and account growth

Cons

There were hopes that new leadership would stabilize the company, rebuild trust and morale and improve the company overall. Most of the field team has resigned or is looking for other opportunities. Extremely poor management, unrealistic work/life balance and no attention to details. They are flying by the seat of their pants.

Advice to Management

No advice to give, as it wouldn't matter. They are not interested in hearing from the field, especially those hired before the leadership changed hands.

Pros

Working with amazing people, good product, lots of vacation days

Cons

Having been around the company for over 6 years, I'm observing with great consternation a new pattern of policy coming from the leadership. It seems that there is animosity from the new leadership to anyone hired by the previous management, whom are mostly loyal and devoted employees. And the strangest thing is that it seems that HR is actually generating this culture, which leaves employees nobody to turn to. I'm... witnessing downright nasty behavior coming from the leadership and management is being very petty. Good employees are being fired without justification. I'm seriously considering looking elsewhere and I'm not surprised at the Grand Exodus happening around me.

Advice to Management

There are some of you who have capability of being good managers, but you have to get rid of the rotten apples amongst you. Appreciate your employees and reciprocate loyalty.

Pros

Generous time off. Great coworkers.

Cons

Poor leadership. Transparency and decency to the employees that make the company what it is would go a long way.

Advice to Management

Take the opportunity to lead with integrity and empower your team, and you'll see the results tenfold.

Pros

Nice coworkers, good team collaboration.

Cons

POOR LEADERSHIP is all I can say. The leadership team is short sighted and don't care about company morale. They took away the perks that make people happy, like the $200 Holiday gift card and various other gestures of appreciation. They don't look at the big picture of running a healthy company, where people are happy to work. They are not accommodating and don't have any work/life balance.

Advice to Management

Look past your egos and realize what is happening to your company. There is a reason why people are flocking out. If you want to run a successful company, you need to keep your employees happy.

Pros

Product is good, time off generous

Cons

New owners/managers don't know or care about employees (unlike founders, who made the workplace feel like family). New chiefs do not want to hear ideas from staff, are extremely unorganized and petulant when employees point out inconsistencies or potential improvements.

Advice to Management

Get over yourself, you aren't that great.
