Pros
Free snacks and beverages. Easy work pace. One free beer pint each week. Coolers to store your lunch. Close to downtown.
Cons
Most of the senior management team (2 of 3 C level executives and 3 of 4 VPs) have no experience in the education industry and they are unable to guide the company, product and customer relations. The management team spends too much time “offsite” boozing it up and wasting money. The product (we have only one product) is stale and the other education companies have surpassed us. The president believes that we are a technology company, yet our technology is almost 20 years old. It takes years to deliver new product features and they are chasing the competition. Other than 401K matching, the family benefits packages are the worst I’ve seen. Employee salaries are the lowest in the triangle. The town hall meetings are an attempt to prop up morale, but they are ineffectual. Open and loud office space.
