DreamBox Learning Reviews

Pros

DreamBox is a special place to work. People that work here are smart, motivated by a higher purpose and dedicated to the company mission and values. The technologies we work with are modern and super-interesting, and the culture is very low-ego and collaborative. The work is fulfilling at many levels and makes me want to go to work and give my best every day. Leadership is focused on bringing high value to the kids and...

Cons

The company is growing and evolving. People who can't evolve with the company can misinterpret changes as a lack of organization.

Advice to Management

Well done! Keep on pushing!

Pros

- You get what you put in to DreamBox Learning. Hard work and creative ideas are rewarded with recognition and monetary incentives. - An actual "open door" policy to the executive and leadership team. - Management and leadership capitalize on great ideas and scale them company wide with the right justification. - Excellent environment for self-starters and people who practice task ownership. If you need your hand...

Cons

- Office politics and cliques can drive talent away - Some departments are process oriented when they could be more customer-centric -

Advice to Management

Continue to invest in what has driven your growth - your employees. Listen to new hires on how to improve processes, what is needed to be more impactful, and best practices they bring from other companies. Continue to innovate internal practices to support a better customer and employee experience. Demand accountability from all departments and don't reward & celebrate mediocrity.

Pros

Amazing people. Fun holiday traditions.

Cons

Not a lot of growth in skill development or salaries.

Pros

Excellent niche solution that works.

Cons

When a culture is so toxic it pushes out your best talent, changes need to be made. Unfortunately, the only 'changes' are greater protections for 'clicks' and awards for individuals who bully and maliciously attack coworkers. The only 'conflict resolution' process is to tattle to HR and file complaints over every little thing, whether it's true or not. The hyper-sensitivity of everyone complaining to management over the...

Advice to Management

Actually do something courageous, and in the interest of the company, take action against those you protect and who you know are poisoning the well.

Pros

None. I cant get out of here fast enough.

Cons

I dread logging into work every morning. Working at DreamBox is a reoccurring nightmare. The company is extremely unorganized and lacks guidance. There is poor leadership and low team morale. Our sales goals are unattainable and no one on the team ever meets them. On top of that salaries are low and there is no growth potential. Don’t let them tell you otherwise, this is a terrible place to work.

Pros

Over all the company has a great mission. Helping to improve society by shaping the minds of children and changing their perception about Math is an awesome way to impact the world.

Cons

Working in other departments is probably great. But I highly discourage working in the Client Success department as you may find yourself stuck. This department needs incentives desperately and it will help with moral; Instead of having an incentive program, management likes to reward the department by buying food/snacks. Although appreciated, employees want a monetary reward considering that raises and promotions don’t...

Advice to Management

No further advice to Management because this is a constant conversation. If management intended to make changes, the changes would have already taken place. These have been raised with management over and over and nothing has been done.

Pros

Company values and mission - Do well to do good!

Cons

none at this time to say

Pros

There are meetings sometimes where associates read out letters students have written to DreamBox. It makes your little heart swell to hear how these little kids really like math now. Some of the success stories are really touching, and I honestly believe in the companies mission and product.

Cons

There are no increases in pay. No cost of living increase, no bonuses, no incentives. Where other departments may be getting annual reviews, we get an annual check-in where tell our manager what our goals are for the next year. Goal is a loose term, because what they want to know is what new thing you are going to contribute to the team. Normally I am all for this kind of thing - I like to learn new things and it is great...

Advice to Management

Make duties of managers very clear - perhaps give them clear goals and outlines. Give cost of living increases. If there is no possibility of a raise via performance, then tone down the annual review.
