Pros

Flexibility Coworkers Culture Michael Hanson Nothing else

Cons

Lack of bonuses and reasonable raises Being told we should be happy we have our job and having a paycut through the pandemic and then not getting reimbursed our lost company match. Watching people on the executive team cut each other down and then not listen to their teams. Lack of help from leadership to resolve problems. The constant threat of layoffs and restructures taking your job away. Lack of transparency. The company being siloed. No support from department heads and leadership

Thank you for your more than 8 years of service and for reflecting on your experience working here. Regarding bonuses, our HR department partners closely with managers to ensure each employee is compensated fairly for their role and contribution. Our annual merit increases are set each year based on the market, Cengage and individual performance. In terms of restructuring, while our strategy is sound and our markets are growing, they are also large and hard to predict due to forces beyond our control. We must continue to evolve to create an organization that is both resilient and balanced. As these changes take place we aim to be as transparent as possible and provide opportunities for employee listening and reflection. However, I recognize that there is room to improve, and I appreciate your feedback as we evolve. I wish you the best in your future endeavors. Best, Michael Hansen, CEO
