Abusive, Inefficient, and Cheap

Pros

Many talented and creative co-workers - that's what all the fake reviews created by the owners say, but it is actually true.

Cons

As noted by many, CEO is routinely verbally abusive to employees. Nothing is ever good enough. You will have a basis for legal action due to the great number of actionable statements made about race, gender, marital status, disability, etc. Processes are not in place, everything is done on a whim, and getting a raise is exceedingly difficult if you are not friends or family.

Pros

Love this place. Above all else, the company is so committed to its mission of educating and representing all voices through its products that it's hard to imagine working at another place. The company has done a great job adjusting to changes in the education market and is committed to putting the best product out there. That mindset resonates throughout of company. It's also amazing to work so many creative and smart people every day who all have the same belief in education.

Pros

There are some wonderful people there creating high quality instructional content, amidst the rubble of awful leadership, overwhelming workloads.

Cons

There are too many cons to note: demeaning leadership, condescending nature of communication, lack of thoughtful communication of any sort. The fact that there is a "human resources" department of any sort is laughable. Just an overall horrible place to be a part of. Note: BEC is known for erasing these reviews.
