Pros

Every day I am surrounded by kind, caring people who want to help me find great success. Success in this company is defined by making a positive impact on K-12 educators and their students throughout the country. We are hard-working, dedicated, and passionate people.

Cons

It takes a little while to find your groove in the area you work in. Once this clicks, though, watch out- you’ll never be bored and you’ll always be empowered.

Unlimited PTO!

Pros

It’s Employee Appreciation Day and the company has just announced an unlimited PTO plan for all it’s employees! We are a mid-size “unicorn” company, going through major growth and acquisitions. I’ve been with the company for almost eight years and have experienced two major acquisitions. The experience itself is like a MBA case study and has undoubtedly increased the value and experience of each employee’s resume repertoire. I work out of the Chicago office where the culture is fun, laid back, smart and hard working. Nerf guns, scooters, ping pong, Xbox, and catered lunches are commonplace. More importantly, the unique comradery among the employees frequently has us hanging out together outside the office and out of normal business hours. Over the years the company has positively evolved, but like with any major growth company, we have experienced some bumps along the way. From my perspective, the fruits of sticking it out and trusting the company to continue to get better have yielded plentiful. Introducing the new unlimited PTO plan, plus the college tuition reimbursement, professional development opportunities, the ability to work from home, and low-cost health premiums (including a free health screening) strongly demonstrate Frontline’s commitment to its employees and one of its core values of work life balance.

Cons

The frequent catered breakfast, lunches, ice cream socials, and happy hours make it hard to diet.

An Unfortunate Fall

Pros

- The Customers. We work with great school districts and administrators. If any of you are reading this, we appreciate you. - Lower Management. Though they are continually shut down by upper management, they tirelessly fight for their employees. They are the true servant leaders. - Long Term Colleagues. They have each other's backs and strive to make the work place more bearable and enjoyable, even as it becomes increasingly more difficult. Though "Old Frontline" is frowned upon by upper management, you make all the difference.

Cons

- Discouragement of free thinking. - Company trainings and meetings have become akin to brainwashing. - Verbally scolded at meetings for voicing opinions and concerns. Being told to sit down and stop questioning things - at times, in a visibly angry and aggressive manner - is becoming normal. - Upper Management is completely out of touch with the people on the "Front Lines" both within the company and within our customer base. - Money is God and good employees are expendable. If they haven't been let go already (due to the above mentioned), they are severely underpaid to the benefit of the company.
