Chaotic management, toxic work environment - Anonymous employee Middlebury Interactive Languages Employee Review

The job is intense but the pay is great especially considering you get room and board. The language directors are very supportive of new teachers as well.

The intensity of the schedule takes adjustment, but it's only for a month.

MIL provides a rare opportunity to work in Vermont for a fun, growing tech company. If you love education and language all the better. Staff is an interesting mix of native Vermonters, ed/tech leaders and PhDs. Most folks get along well and it is fun and collaborative work environment. CEO generally does a good job in being accessible and letting the other members of the exec team focus on their duties. One great perk: employees get Friend of College status, meaning you can access Middlebury College facilities or activities for free or at huge discounts. If you ski, a family pass at the Snow Bowl costs like $250 for the year and there's never any lift lines. You can play unlimited golf at the college course, which is empty all summer, for $200 (no further greens fees). if you like getting outdoors, living in a fun college town and doing interesting work - and helping kids learn - this is a great company for you.

The major challenges have been related to growth and/or underperformance in certain areas. The Utah office was holdover from an older company and has been closed, which is a good thing although has taken time to migrate functions to Vermont. (if you notice nearly all the 1 star reviews on here come from Provo). The new structure should improve tech functions moving forward. The Middlebury College faculty has issues with K12, the other partner that owns MIL but the college administration is still very supportive.
