Pros

The people (not including leadership) and opportunity to make $. Potential to positively impact students. Flexible schedule and unlimited PTO.

Cons

First, PLEASE do not believe all of the positive reviews. It is clear they were published in response to the mass layoffs that could have been avoided in December. The voice in each phony positive review is the exact same and clearly written by the same person. Second, the level of toxicity and unfairness on the sales team is truly deplorable due to mismanagement. The team was formerly lead by several leaders, but now is "lead" by just one person, and it's their way or the highway. Favorites are chosen and if you don't fall into the favorite cateogry, you are treated unfairly and have far less opportunities than the chosen few. There is a serious lack of support because some sales reps no longer have a manager to report to. This company has grown too fast and there has been little to no change in the product or quality of instruction. As a sales rep, you'll encounter more unhappy clients than satisfied ones due to this unresolved issue. This company states their mission is to bring equity to education, but really it's to achieve unattainable revenue goals and make a ton of money regardless of the negative impact on students and districts. You'll also be given a goal that is unattainable. Expect that goal to the changed mid-quarter without any reasoning behind it. The CEO came up with their own "values" for this company and asked everyone in the office one day to gather around a table that they stood on top of while we repeated after her as they recited the "values." One of those values was "COMPANY BEFORE SELF." This was later revised but those words, most likely due to HR intervention, but couldn't be more true- they will not care about you. She meant those words.

Pros

I can't think of a single one. It was an easy gig to get?

Cons

Based in India and operated according to Indian corporate norms. That should be enough to drive anyone away. It's an absolute farce of a company. They want to pay minuscule amounts of money for high-quality curriculum. The curriculum writer is, effectively, an instructional designer with full teaching qualifications and teaching experience (often in multiple states), but the pay is absolute garbage. The systems are also incredibly confusing because no one seems to want to pay for a workable, user-friendly interface.
