Pros

The company's goals and their core objectives are admirable. It was amazing working for a company that was so committed to literacy and education. The people in my department were spectacular.

Cons

I never went anywhere. I was never promoted (the "Senior" only got tacked on to my job title because I think my boss knew I was feeling frustrated with my lack of upward progress. There was no raise to accompany the change.) I never received any substantial annual pay raises. Any attempts to move to another job within the company over the ten years I was there were rejected. It became extremely frustrating to work there when I felt like I was expected to simply be grateful for the job I had and not expect anything more.

Pros

Remote work and the clients are very nice to work with.

Cons

In my experience, the company's compensation practices lacked transparency and accountability. When employees asked questions about how their earnings, bonuses, or compensation were calculated, clear answers were often difficult to obtain. Decisions affecting employee pay were made without adequate explanation, and requests for clarification frequently went unresolved. What I found particularly concerning was the apparent disconnect between employee compensation outcomes and management compensation. Employees regularly experienced reduced bonuses or earnings, while management and executive leadership appeared largely unaffected by the same business decisions. This created the perception that the financial impact of those decisions was being borne primarily by employees rather than those making them. After repeatedly seeking explanations and receiving few meaningful answers, I lost confidence in the fairness and transparency of the compensation process.
