Pros

There are some really lovely people to work with. Able to schedule medical appointments during work hours. Staff lunch every month - free food and a longer lunch break. Good first office job if you’re willing to get paid minimal legal wage.

Cons

The work culture is extremely toxic. There is no communication between departments. The management lacks any qualifications, training or people skills and are openly treating employees differently based on personal preferences. Unfortunately, the management also lacks disability and mental health awareness and ableist comments are often made. There is no reward or recognition available for anyone working below Project Coordinator level so the only reward for doing your job well is a larger workload. The pay is very poor and below average. No benefits. Flexible working is only available at certain positions and is actively discouraged. No progress opportunities as internal promotions are rare. I would not recommend working at Stem Learning to anyone. There are better companies out there.

Pros

Great people, who are highly skilled in their field and deserve more respect and recognition. Lovely office location. Good holiday allowance. Serves a good cause.

Cons

Senior leadership is inconsistent, disjointed, disillusioned and weak. Work first not people first. Strategic direction is unclear. People are over worked and fear raising this. Wellbeing and engagement initiatives are tick box exercises and meaningless.
