The individual contributes that work with you on your team are great people committed to helping schools have favorable outcomes and drive student impact. Company benefits are the best I’ve had in my professional career.

• In the past month alone, over 25 employees were laid off without transparency or clear criteria around who was impacted or why. • Leadership continues to say the organization is financially strong, which contradicts recent layoffs and ongoing instability. • The engagement team is led by toxic leadership—cliquish, exclusionary, and hostile to feedback. • Sales lacks basic tools to be successful: no lead generation strategy, reps can’t create their own quotes, and revenue goals are avoided because leadership believes schools “aren’t ready” to talk about money. • There’s a deep identity crisis—are we focused on revenue or on mission? The lack of clarity is hurting both. • The org is extremely top-heavy. Leadership teams meet constantly but rarely communicate decisions or direction to the rest of the staff. • Despite the CEO’s claims that the org is progressive and innovative, it’s resistant to change and clings to outdated systems and thinking. • Promotions and visibility are limited to those within a small Indianapolis-based network. If you’re not part of the inner circle, you’re overlooked. • Employees don’t feel safe reaching out to HR, as feedback often leads to retaliation. • New ideas are not welcomed. If you raise concerns or suggest improvements, you’re labeled “difficult” and shut out.
