Pros

- get to work with some of the smartest people you'll ever meet - remote workforce allows for terrific work/life balance and lots of flexibility - plenty of autonomy to make decisions, run the business, and your day as you see fit - opportunity for creative work, building relationships, and meeting interesting people - get to meet and help college students on their way to becoming amazing people, very rewarding

Cons

- disorganized from top to bottom, poor planning and execution of marketing campaigns year after year - some of the worst fiscal management I've ever seen from any company, and unforgivable for a company this size - constant "reorganizations" i.e. layoffs -- line-level employees paying the price for a decade of poor management at the top - lack of transparency, decisions made by very few people at the top, none of whom are challenged for their terrible ideas and no accountability for said terrible ideas - subpar-to-laughable pay for the level of revenue and market size responsibility. This is an entry level job or a job for someone who is looking for a decent pay but flexible hours (parents with young kids.) Not competitive salary or bonuses compared to similar sales jobs

Pros

Remote and flexible. Good culture from higher up but team morale is down.

Cons

Turning more salesy than helping students. Too much focus on hitting budget.
