Not a good environment!!

Pros

Some good people working for the company.

Cons

Is hard to list them all. Poor management and completely disorganized. Top executive yells and curses all the time - so either you get used to it or that's not the place for you. No one should be submitted to that kind of management. That's not how you treat people, specially the ones helping your company to grow. They need to be organized, efficient and stop micromanagement (trust your employees!!!).

Pros

Family owned by passionate people who love educating kids, competing with big companies, responding to teachers, and giving employees what they need to succeed. Contributions are more than welcomed, they are desired. I'd say this place isn't for everyone but that's a good thing. This company listens and appreciates good ideas. Very smart people!!

Cons

It's a business with passionate people. I hear, but have not experienced, that passion sometimes leads to yelling. Needs to improve systems...A little dated.

Pros

Free lunch now and then and cupcakes once a month for celebrating birthdays. Nice views of the sunset in the afternoons. Free beer now and then too.

Cons

I wouldn't say they are disorganized, it is more that they change direction all the time. It seems to have worked in terms of making money and expanding the business but it might drive you crazy because the very ground is always moving beneath your feet! And one of the two top executives is very very unpleasant always yelling and cursing. This executive has no patience and if you make a mistake, you will not have much dignity afterward. The books have a very liberal slant and if that is your thing you will be comfortable here because that is how many of the people are. (But not on the business side.) There is a lot of turnover in the human resources department and this makes things difficult too in terms of training and people with an institutional memory of the company.
