Pros

The product benefits nursing students, programs and nurse educators. The company employs some of the smartest people which provides a strong backbone to the validity of the product and the company's place in the industry. When I first started, almost everyone strove to support the values and mission of the company. There was a level of selflessness that focused on the good of the client and the good of the company without the games that are commonly found in growing businesses.

Cons

An unexpected change t in executive leadership has resulted in a lot of politics and withholding of information. It would appear the environment of "let's collaborate to get it done" is shifting into a work place of "how do I protect my area of control".

Pros

Good pay/benefits and overall atmosphere in the office. Unlimited PTO. Good work/life balance.

Cons

Lack of communication throughout the whole company makes it hard to complete tasks on time or get direct answers to problems. Frustrating for both the employees and customers. Very high turnover rate in sales, leaves employees feeling disposable. Good place to work for recent grads looking to get some sales experience and then find a new job. Not much room for growth within the company.
