Smart, helpful, hard working teams Good work-life balance depending on your manager

Executive leadership is out of touch with no clear long-term strategy Frequent turnover in senior roles. Culture rewards compliance over expertise Micromanagement is common; autonomy is rare Feedback loops are performative Wins are co-opted by leadership; failures blamed on frontline teams

We appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective, but it’s disappointing to learn how unhappy you were while you were with us. We’re so sorry you saw Lakeshore as having a top-down leadership structure, as we feel our best ideas come from individuals all over the company—from the teachers who dream up and design our products to the sales and customer support teams who help reshape our services to meet the needs of educators and students. Still, we appreciate your feedback, and we sincerely hope you find a better fit in your next position. Please take care, and we wish you all the best in the future. –Employee Experience Team
