Pros

Most mid level managers are great and supportive. Flexible schedule.

Cons

Constant reorganization and lay offs. More responsibilities added often without increase in salary. Limited opportunity to advance. CEO and VP are painfully out of touch with needs of employees.

Thank you for taking the time to share your candid feedback – positive and negative. As a company we are always evolving and looking for ways to improve how we work. Part of that evolution includes controlling our cost so we can continue to provide quality, affordable solutions that make a difference in learners’ lives. These changes are not easy but they allow us to create a business that is reliable and sustainable for the future. As the education industry evolves, we must evolve as well. Internal mobility and advancement are areas that we have invested in significantly, in fact we have invested $8 million in employee learning and development through access to our own ed2go and cybersecurity courses. We have also created opportunity for learning, listening and involvement, including Weekly First Friday company-wide meetings and our annual Engagement Survey. However, we recognize that we are not perfect, and I encourage you to reach out to me directly with ways that we can better support our employees. Best, Michael Hansen, CEO
