Pros

- Some of the kindest, most intelligent, hard working people I've had the opportunity to work with in my career - Working at EVERFI gives you the chance to have impact in the lives of educators and their students - Flexible work environment for remote teams - The K12 Schools Team is an excellent opportunity for educators transitioning from the classroom to enter the field of ed tech - Good benefits and very parent-friendly - Not a too high pressure environment for those working remotely (outside of D.C.) - Excellent middle managers who care deeply about the employees they manage and their role in providing support for their teams

Cons

I decided to write this review after noticing several recent reviews written by executive leaders. It's disconcerting to see that leaders at EVERFI are writing reviews that not only skew the Glassdoor ranking, but skew and undermine the very real lived experiences of current and former employees that were not 5-star. It looks like these leaders aren't able to receive feedback. - Favoritism is alive and well at EVERFI. - The company lacks real opportunities for growth and career progression within the organization. - Roles and responsibilities, especially on the K12 team, are not clearly defined and this limits any one employee's ability to effectively become an expert at their job. - The mission of the company is cemented in social impact and creating more equitable futures for students BUT the company is only willing to stand by their DEI anthem as long as its profitable and making the corporate customers happy. Leaders are not willing to take real time or make real effort to invest in internal or external DEI initiatives and are only willing to put in enough work that checks a box. - It can feel chaotic to work at EVERFI sometimes. A lot of reviews here talk about how exciting the constant change at EVERFI is, but instead this change is indicative of EVERFI attempting to take advantage and make profit off of every social issue that makes headlines. If you aren't aware of the term seagull management, please look it up. This is what it can feel like at EVERFI. - It is clear that executives have no real leadership or executive management training. Employees are treated as if they are elementary students and this is not conducive for empowered work from the professional adults that work at EVERFI.

Thank you for sharing your perspective with us. It is important to note that several of these assertions about our people and organization are simply not representative of the strides and investments our organization is making, particularly with regard to employee development and DE&I initiatives. It is a top priority of our leadership and Talent department to support career competencies, development and role progression for EVERFI's talented employees. This past year we made significant investments in the K12 function including revamping compensation, career pathing, employee development, and manager coaching. To that end, we have a significant number of Schools Implementation Managers who have continued their career journey at EVERFI in leadership roles within K12 and other roles across the business including revenue and product. We're committed to providing tools and resources to help drive growth within the organization and we believe career growth is an active and ongoing conversation between employees and managers. We continue to invest in our greatest growth areas and receive ample employee feedback to confirm we’re on the right path, however, if there are specific issues you would like to raise, we again encourage you to reach out to our Talent Department to better understand and address any remaining concerns.
