good company to work for, however you do ALOT for the little you are paid

CEO Approval
Business Outlook
Pros
job security, fun people to work with for the most part
Cons
no advancement at branch locations, pay is based on merit, not on job performance. A substandard peer doesn't have to work hard and can still receive more than you.
* The entire company is mission-driven and truly cares about impacting children's literacy and cultivating a love of learning
* Strong, positive brand association among teachers and parents
* There is a lot of opportunity to contribute your ideas to any project, but the processes for taking a project to market are very unclear
* Great opportunities for growth and advancement, if you are okay with dealing with ambiguity and taking on more work
Cons
* Very, very, very little blue-sky innovation.
* Processes, systems, and technologies are quite out of date
* The company is not structured for growth. Many functional teams are siloed in separate business-units, and very few individuals/teams have a goal-oriented mindset
* Data-driven decision-making is often talked about, but rarely practiced. Data teams are super smart and helpful, but are not embedded functionally, so impact is always limited.
* There is a general misunderstanding of underlying growth drivers for the business units and the enterprise, often starting at top-level management.
