Pros

free snacks. happy hour. feel good about helping people (until you find out it's fake)

Cons

Company claims to doing a public service by providing free education and advice to low income students. Unfortunately the company sell's these low income student's information to for-profit online universities. These school have a reputation of low graduation rates and piling up student debt, as well as worthless degrees. Also employees treated like kindergardners and paygrade is poor

We're sorry you didn't enjoy your experience at Study.com. We pay employees extremely competitively along with generous benefits, which results in low employee turnover. It sounds like you may have left the company before we developed our subscription service, which is now a core part of our business model. However, another part of our business is in helping students reach colleges and universities nationwide, as you mention in your review. We have a long list of partner schools including for-profit, not-for-profit, and public universities. We're recognized in the industry for our transparency and our respect for students' confidential information.

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.
