Rosetta Stone Employee Reviews about "management"

Pros

Flexible schedule, friendly and very interesting and bright co-workers and direct managers. Great product which appeals to a large cross-section of individuals and institutions. High degree of interaction with people and organizations across the globe which keeps things interesting and rewarding.

Cons

No room for advancement unless you work in a hub. Remote positions are great for what they are but don't count on ever advancing. Through acquisitions company was spreading itself too thin and evolving too quickly for a the hopes of a smooth transition. I think because of this the lines of communications really suffered. No communication from top management to the rank and file except to inform who left and who was hired. Sudden and unexpected lay-offs without explanation after having only received the highest reviews by the learners and very high monthly reviews from supervisors. No compensation or advancement despite new responsibilities and rather quick learning curve for a new product and job responsibilities.

Pros

Nice office but getting there is a pain, hefty parking fees. Few good co-workers, if they still stick around.

Cons

Dog eat dog, ass-kiss culture. If you can 'work out' with your manager you can practically get away with anything. Lose self-esteem and become somebody's lap dog you'll go far. DON'T go there otherwise. Direction upper management has taken is less than reassuring with language learning software landscape expanding.

Pros

- Great flexibility - Kind and approachable management team - Thorough training - Make your own schedule - Can choose to accumulate as many part time hours as you like - Enjoyable experience - Meeting a range of learners from different cultures - Thought-provoking lesson topics - Working from home is really convenient

Cons

No cons at this time, apart from it would be nice if the pay was higher - although the nature of work does match the pay grade

Pros

This job has been a great door opener and I loved all of the people there. The pay was competitive, the benefits were good, and the work-life balance was good. The role I had was expanded to fill the needs I had as far as professional growth, which I appreciated.

Cons

The individual people were generally very nice, but there was some rivalry between departments that can be distracting to a point of being detrimental. The upper management was not as good as they could be at making tough decisions or conflict resolution.
