Pros

It was a healthy work culture and strong team. The products were high quality, both on the BetterLesson side with coaching, workshops, and learning walks, and on the ABL side for data analysis and scheduling.

Cons

It did not have a good market fit in this current US Education market, which lead to devastating lay offs.

Pros

Pay was nice. People were nice, Many wato communicate or get updates.

Cons

Took a long time to get sessions. You had to bid for sessions. Sometimes you get them sometimes you didn’t. Inconsistency with getting work. Then they did partnerships with other companies. I had tech issues but knew he content. I was unfairly rated by by one company rep multiple times. The last time I was rated off of a statement they unfairly took as something negative I said to the participants. Other comoany rep criticized me in my feedback even though my overall success score with participants was high. BL let me go stating the other company didn't want me anymore due to low scoring. When I inquired for more info, they claimed they didn’t have any contractual work for the upcoming year. Plus, more people got let go it seems like. I feel like partnerships shouldn’t determine if people get fired just remove them from that program and allow the facilitator to facilitate other programs. Be careful with doing partnerships if working for BL. Not recommending to others. Lastly, getting paid is another problem they constantly claim “there are issues with payroll” even though you wait almost a month and a half to get paid after doing the work.

Pros

The culture was great while it lasted. Amazing group of people, all committed to making a difference.

Cons

There is not much a company can do after laying off 70% of its core workforce. This ship has sailed thanks to it's investors playing jump rope with layoffs, and new applicants should consider other places with more stability.
