Pros

I miss the people I used to work with. They were passionate and talented and worked hard to achieve the mission of serving kids.

Cons

I left work every day feeling terrible about myself. People were crying at the office, getting yelled at by managers at work. The culture was very negative.

Strange and Somewhat Toxic Culture

Anonymous employee

Pros

Pay is good for a nonprofit. Benefits good too (health, dental, retirement, etc). Convenient location downtown & nice looking office space. Because there are multiple subsidiaries, there is some opportunity to network and meet people inside the company.

Cons

High turnover in some depts (the depts/subsidiaries are EDWorks, STrive, Ohio Education Matters, and New Tech Networks). Some nice people, but def lots of folks who just arent friendly. Given how small the place is, not a ton of room for professional growth. Hard to get in here unless you know someone. Certain subsidiaries have more power & influence than others. Overall, culture can be kind of toxic and generally bad; sometimes people don't speak during the day (just a lot of rudeness). No training or professional development and no diversity. I wouldnt recommend anyone work here unless they are actually unemployed and need a paycheck.
