Pros

Everyone truly believes the work they do is important, which lends itself to committed, happy employees. If you love working somewhere that gives your work a sense of purpose, this is the place. Work-life balance is amazing, and I've never worked with people who care more about each other. There is no "we" versus "us" in management, making everybody (all the way up to the CEO) incredibly approachable. The company also values and wants their employees to innovate and contribute in any way possible - even if it is outside your job description. This gives you a lot of opportunity to move around and make a difference. This is a great place to work if you like to take on a lot of responsibility and have changing responsibilities. You also have multiple opportunities for professional development. Additionally, working here is just a whole lot of fun. There are always activities going on, and the company loves to celebrate successes. You feel appreciated as an employee.

Cons

Growing pains as the company prepares to grow rapidly. In many areas there is a lack of clarity on career advancement - what you need to do to gain a higher title, etc. However, I did find that this was in function only - the company was open about giving you more responsibility if you asked for it. Some disorganization in teams.

Pros

The mission of Imagine Learning is really something I can get behind. I've felt a real sense of purpose here because we are changing lives and opening doors of opportunity for children all over. It is great to see so many kids blossom because of Imagine Learning. Of equal importance to me is the impressive quality of my co-workers. It has been a pleasure to work among so many smart, happy people. Employees are committed to making it a great place to work. I truly feel that my manager and the executive team care about me and my family. Imagine Learning currently offers a yearly bonus for all employees that is tied to hitting a sales quota. I think it motivates the entire team to work hard to create, market, sell, and support the best product possible. I appreciate the unlimited sick day policy. I think it exhibits a high level of employee trust, and it's nice to be able to take the days off you need to recover. A great pantry stocked with healthy and not-so-healthy food choices. :)

Cons

In the world of technology, things change fast. We have to not only keep up with it, but be ahead of it, and sometimes this causes growing pain frustrations. There is a little bit of a sense that the sales team rules the roost. Others have complained about company communication, but from what I've seen, management is extremely transparent. Weekly company-wide meetings are held where employees are given a chance to ask questions about any topic to the executive team. I've really appreciated the open environment. In a company of this size, there aren't many chances for advancement. Luckily, it is pretty great exactly where I am.

Thank you for offering your feedback. We're so glad you enjoy working at Imagine Learning overall. Although it makes us sad to hear your list of cons, we appreciate knowing where to focus our improvement efforts. We think our marketing team is pretty fantastic, but because our target market is so specific, we don't do a lot of national advertising. Instead, we put our resources into attending events nationwide and arming our sales force with great materials. Part of the challenge we face is that schools frequently do not have the latest technology for us to work with. We do a lot of bending over backwards to make things work for customers who have extremely old equipment, which can be a challenge for our support employees. However, we've learned a lot over the years, and each product release gets better and better. Finally, we have to say that we have a strong strategy regarding quotas, and our team has delivered year over year!
