Pros

When I started working here it was a great experience--there were genuinely amazing people on my team and we worked hard, excited about Imagine Learning's mission. I was excited to go to work on Mondays. Imagine Learning was built on the idea of helping students. Before I left a lot of people were there who truly believed in that mission. The physical office space was a great place to work.

Cons

Changes in upper level management (and some smaller, team-level changes) brought an environment of toxicity and distrust to my team. My work was constantly redone, poorly in my opinion, by people who were not trained to do my job. I got weekend texts and phone calls, asking me to make changes on things that I had done. All of this after I had already had multiple, very capable coworkers review my work. I saw this happen to others on my team as well. As a result almost nobody who was on my team when I started at Imagine Learning is still there. What started as an amazing job turned into a toxic and stressful environment. I found myself constantly second guessing my abilities when I started my current job because of how I was treated at Imagine Learning, but I've realized now, that my work wasn't the issue. I am capable and careful in my work. But, the culture from the executive team at Imagine was fear-based which caused managers to nitpick work for fear of being reprimanded. I've put off writing this review because there's honestly too much to unpack with my experience at Imagine and I knew I'd struggle to put it all into words, but this gives you the general idea.

Pros

Pay is competitive. Remote work. A few days a week of regional travel at the federal compensation rate. This has been an educational entry-level job to learn the basic stakeholders and sales cycles for K-12 curriculum. The people I work with are great and knowledge/experience is a strong resource at this company.

Cons

The higher leadership of the organization does not foster a positive, collaborative culture. Different teams/regions work in silos. Any collaboration and communication happens primarily by our own individual efforts. Also, systems change yearly. It's difficult for everyone to adapt, and as a result the sales team has little faith in following the process. Job security is iffy. There has been continuous talk of eliminating my position in my state for over a year now.
