Pros

Vacation and PTO are pretty decent

Cons

Seems like management is grasping at straws to keep things from completely tanking. Everyone is just working to basically stay afloat. There are many people who have gone well over a year without a raise. It was recently announced that everyone is getting a basic “cost of living increase” in December. That means some people will have gotten two raises within a year, while others have to wait well over a year just to get one pitiful 3% increase regardless of their good annual review and extra time and work. It’s definitely a slap in the face to those employees who have been putting in a lot of extra effort. If you’re not going to be shown any appreciation, there’s no point in going above and beyond. People who don’t know anything about this company would probably be very surprised by the dismal salaries a lot of employees here have. The high hopes I used to have for the executive team have completely diminished. Company culture and moral is really bad right now but management walks around like they’re in la la land and things are are good but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Pros

Small family-like company, little politics, people focused, learning and development industry leader with an innovative tech twist; new leadership and org chart changes and evolution of brand and culture has resulted in growth and impactful change and success.

Cons

Lots of change over the past several years, and in the Sales function but strong, collaborative, leadership has created stability and positive results quickly.

Pros

At this point, I’m struggling to find a positive

Cons

They laid off the CFO with the explanation that they are going to institute a “shared services” model with the owners of SkillPath, Graceland University. What a recipe for disaster! Shared finance and HR. Bottom line is that SP will be tasked with managing both functions so Graceland essentially gets free back office support. Keep in mind a few things: Graceland leadership has ZERO experience running a business. The HR leader at SP is the epitome of the Peter Principle, and is overwhelmed just “trying” to do her job as it is. The cherry on top of all of this is the SP COO is a lackluster under performer who has no understanding of financial statements of how to read/interpret them.
