Pros

Study.com hires amazing individuals who all have drive and will always jump to provide a helping hand. Despite how poorly this company has continuously treated their Content Department, they still go above and beyond to produce high-quality work.

Cons

Throughout the interview process, you are constantly told how this company values growth and there are multiple opportunities to grow, that is a lie. Their performance reviews mean absolutely nothing. When asking how to get promoted, you are always told different things each time. The answer is clear: it is favoritism. After misclassifying the Content Department and underpaying them, they did nothing to fix the lack of trust they've instilled in the department and the CEO has not said a single word regarding the matter. The Content Department was told that we have "competitive wages" for their role. 50k - 64k is no where near competitive, especially for the Bay Area. In fact most of the department cannot even afford to live within the area with the low salary and are forced into long commutes.

Pros

Occasional food trucks at happy hour

Cons

The responses from their HR team on here are laughable. The leadership team will screw you over overtly, egregiously, and repeatedly. Do not work here. You’ll have to sit through tearful speeches from the CEO about how his name is pronounced while their chief growth officer runs multiple parts of the business into the ground while posting about dating drag performers on LinkedIn. Their social media posts are filled with comments about complaints about a lack of customer service. They don’t care about their clients, customers, or employees.

Hey — we appreciate you reaching out, and we're sorry your experience here wasn't a good one or the right fit culturally. We'll be honest, though: this doesn't reflect who we are. We care deeply about our impact on customers, about our business, and about the values that shape how we work. We're sorry you didn't get to experience that side of us. If you're ever open to sharing more, our door is open — people@study.com. We wish you all the best.
